Frequency Verification
This test verifies the frequency accuracy of the two sources in the
function generator. All output frequencies are derived from a single
generated frequency, and only one frequency point is checked.
The second test verifies the burst rate frequency.
Set the function generator for each output indicated in the table below.
Use a frequency meter to measure the output frequency. Compare the
measured results to the test limits shown in the table. This is a 50
W
output termination test.

Function Gain and Linearity Verification
This test verifies the output amplitude accuracy specification for
sine wave, triangle wave, ramp, and square wave outputs.
Set the function generator for each output indicated in the table below.
Use a DMM to measure the function generator ACrms output voltage.
Compare the measured results to the test limits shown in the table.
This is a HIGH Z output termination test.
