frequency
1. Follow the substeps below to set the AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform
Generator controls and select the waveform file:
a. Push UTILITY (front–panel)!System (bottom)!Factory Reset
(side)!OK (side).
b. Load the MODE.WFM file.
Refer to Loading Files on page B-9 for file loading procedures.
c. Push HORIZONTAL MENU (front–panel)!Clock (side).
d. Push 2, ., 5 and G (SHIFT+CLR) keys in this order or turn the general
purpose knob to set the internal clock frequency to 2.5 GHz.
2. Push the RUN button.
The LED above the RUN button is on.
3. Verify that the frequency counter reading is 2.5 GHz ± 2.5 kHz (using internal
reference clock).
4. Retain the test hookup.
Check 10MHz Reference
