Performance Tests
This subsection contains a collection of procedures for checking that the
AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator performs as warranted.
The procedures are arranged in eight logical groupings, presented in the
following order:

The performance tests confirms all the characteristics that are designated as
checked in Appendix A:Specifications. (The characteristic items that must be
checked are listed with the check mark (n) in Appendix A: Specifications).
NOTE. These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the basic
procedures described on page 4–3. The basic procedures should be done first,
followed by the Performance Tests, if desired.
