AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual B-21
c. Push the FORCE EVENT button.
d. Write the DMM reading as a negative voltage.
e. Verify that the positive minus negative voltages fall within
200 mV ± 6 mV.
f. Push the 2 and the ENTER keys in this order or turn the general purpose
knob to set the amplitude to 2 V.
8. Do the following substeps to check the amplitude accuracy of 2 V amplitude
setting:
a. Push the FORCE EVENT button.
b. Write the DMM reading as a positive voltage.
c. Push the FORCE EVENT button.
d. Write the DMM reading as a negative voltage.
e. Check that the positive minus negative voltages fall within
2 V ± 0.042 V.
9. Do the following substeps to change the connection to check the CH1
:
a. Push the CH1 output button.
b. Disconnect the adapter, terminator and cable from the CH1 output
connector.
c. Connect the adapter, terminator, and the cable (removed in step b) to the
CH1
output connector.
d. Push the CH1
output button to turn on the CH1 LED.
10. Repeat the Check Amplitude Accuracy procedure for the AWG710B Arbitrary
Waveform Generator CH1
beginning on page B-19.
11. Reconnect the test hookup on the CH1
output to the CH1 output.
Retain the control settings.
Check Offset Accuracy
The following procedure checks the Offset Accuracy.
1. Use the test hookup and settings from previous check on page B-19 and B-19.
2. Follow the substeps below to set the AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform
Generator controls and to select the sequence file:
a. Push UTILITY (front–panel)!System (bottom)!Factory Reset
(side)!OK (side).
b. Load the OFFSET.WFM file.
Refer to Loading Files on page B-9 for file loading procedures.
c. Push VERTICAL MENU (front–panel)!Amplitude (side).
