To prevent personal injury or damage to the instrument, consider the following before attempting service:

The procedures in this manual should be performed only by a qualiﬁed service person.

Read the General Safety Summary and the Service Safety Summary at the beginning of this document.

When using this manual for servicing, be sure to follow all warnings, cautions, and notes.

The manual consists of the following sections:

Speciﬁcations contains a description of the instrument and the characteristics that apply to it.

Performance Veriﬁcation contains procedures for conﬁrming that the instrument functions properly and meets warranted limits.

The procedures described in this document should be performed every 12 months or after module replacement.

If the instruments do not meet performance criteria, repair is necessary.

2. Wait until the test is completed.

3. Verify passing of the diagnostics.

If the diagnostics completes without ﬁnding any problems, the message

When an error is detected during diagnostic execution, the instrument displays

an error code. Error codes are described in Error codes on page 25, Error

Amplitude test

This test veriﬁes the amplitude accuracy of the arbitrary function generator. All output amplitudes are derived from a combination of attenuators and 3 dB variable gain. Some amplitude points are checked. This test uses a 50 Ω terminator. It is necessary to know the accuracy of the 50 Ω terminator in advance of this amplitude t

est. This accuracy is used as a calibration factor.

1. Connect the 50 Ω terminator to the DMM as shown in the following ﬁgure and measure the resistance value.
