Test Procedures 
 
1.  Make sure that the environment temperature is between 18℃ and 28℃ and 
DG800 has been warmed up for at least 30 minutes. Connect the 50Ω load to 
the channel output terminal (take CH1 as an example; the test method is also 
applicable to CH2) of DG800; connect the 50Ω load and the voltage input 
terminals of the digital multimeter using a BNC-Dual banana plug connecting 
cable as shown in Figure 2-2.

2.  Turn on the multimeter, select the ACV measurement function and set the range 
to “Auto”.  
 
3.  Turn on DG800. Press Preset and tap the Def icon, then a dialog box is 
displayed, tap "Apply" to restore DG800 to the factory setting. 
 
4.  Set DG800:  
a)  Set the output impedance of CH1 to 50Ω. (Tap the channel output 
configuration status bar 
 under the user interface to enter the 
channel setting interface. Tap the OutputSet  HighZ to select "Off". Tap 
the Impedance menu label, and set the impedance to 50Ω.) 
b)  Set the output waveform of CH1 to a sine waveform with 1kHz frequency, 
20mVpp amplitude and 0V
dc
 offset.  
c)  Press Output1 or tap the channel output configuration status bar
