B-2 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
Instructions for menu selection use the following format: front–panel
BUTTON!Main Menu Button!Side Menu Button. For example, Push
UTILITY!System!Reset to Factory!OK
The name of the button or knob appears in boldface type:
Push EDIT; then Drive..., push Floppy side button and use the knob to select
SINE.WFM from the file list.
Self Tests
The Self Tests use internal routines to confirm basic functionality and proper
adjustment. No test equipment is required to do these test procedures.
The self tests include internal diagnostics to verify that the instrument passes the
internal circuit tests, and calibration routines to check and adjust the instrument
internal calibration constants.
Diagnostics
This procedure uses internal routines to verify that the instrument is operating
correctly. No test equipment or hookups are required.
The instrument automatically performs the internal diagnostics when powered on;
you can also run the internal diagnostics using the menu selections described in this
procedure. The difference between these two methods of initiating the diagnostics
is that the menu method does a more detailed memory check than the power–on
method.
Confirm that there is no output being performed by verifying that the RUN LED is
not on. If the LED is on, push the RUN button to turn it off.
Do the following to verify that the instrument passes the internal circuit tests:
Push UTILITY (front–panel)!Diag (bottom)!Diagnostic All (side).
The diagnostic menu is displayed and all tests are selected. Refer to Figure B-1.
If All is not displayed, select All using the general purpose knob.
The list on the screen shows the test items and results in the calibration and
diagnostics previously made. Select all of the test items shown on the screen or use
the general purpose knob to select a single test item that you want to run.
Equipment
required
None
Prerequisites
Power on the instrument and allow a twenty–minute warmup period
before doing this procedure.
