Section 4
Performance Tests
INTRODUCTION 4-1.
The information in the Section 4 describes the performance tests for the key
parameters of the 6080A/AN Synthesized Signal Generator (also referred to
throughout as the "signal generator").
Instrument specifications are used as the performance standard. These closed-case
performance tests may be used as:
• An acceptance test upon receipt of the instrument
• An indication that repair and/or calibration is required
• A performance verification after completing repairs or calibration of the
instrument.
Individual performance tests can also be used as troubleshooting aids.
The signal generator being tested (referred to as UUT — the "unit under test") must be
warmed up with all covers in place for at least 2 hours before starting the performance
tests.
Fluke recommends that calibration be performed once a year.
TEST EQUIPMENT 4-2.
Table 4-1 lists the recommended test equipment for the performance tests, adjustment
procedures, and troubleshooting the signal generator. Figure 4-1 shows a two-turn
loop.
