5.3 Performance Tests
The following tests verify that the waveform generator operates and meets specifications.
Perform the tests after a warm-up period of 30 minutes at an ambient temperature of 22°C ±
3°C.
You can use these tests for periodic inspection and for inspection after repair.
NOTE In the following procedures, all test conditions for the waveform generator are power-up
conditions with output ON, unless otherwise specified.
5.3.1 Frequency Accuracy
Specification: 0.001% (10ppm) for the DDS waveforms. 0.005% for the Arbitrary waveforms.
Procedure:
1. Connect the OUTPUT connector to the counter input using a 50 ohm coaxial cable and a 50
ohm feedthrough termination.
2. Select WAVE and SQUARE to generate square waveform with 1MHz frequency and 5Vp-p.
3. Set the counter to measure frequency with maximum digits resolution.
4.
CHECK for a frequency reading between 999990 Hz and 1000010 Hz.
5. Select WAVE and ARB waveform. Select F1 - RATE and enter 1 us.
6. Connect the unit REF OUT connector (on the rear panel of the unit) to the counter, using the
coax cable and 50 ohms termination.
7. CHECK for a frequency reading between 999950 Hz and 1000050 Hz.
5.3.2 Amplitude Accuracy
Specification: ±1.0% ±20mV of programmed value for 1V to 10V output and ±2.0% ±10mV of
programmed value for 10mV to 999mV output into 50 ohms termination, for a waveform
frequency of 1KHz.
Procedure:
1. Connect the OUTPUT connector to the input of the TRUE rms DVM using a 50 ohm coaxial
cable and the 50 ohm 0.1% termination.
4 Set the DVM to measure ac volts.
5 Set the unit to generate a SINE wave signal with 1 KHz frequency and an amplitude of 10Vp-p
6
CHECK that the measured voltages on the DVM at 10Vp-p, 5Vp-p, 3Vp-p, 1Vp-p, 100 mVp-p
and 50mVp-p are in the accuracy range:
