Performance verification
Performance t
ests
The Performance Tests include functional tests, such as the interface functional
test, in this manual.
The Functional Tests verify the functions; they verify that the AFG3000
Series Arbitrary Function Generators features operate. They do not verify
that they op
erate within limits.
The Performance Tests verify that the AFG3000 Series Arbitrary Function
Generator
s performs as warranted. The Performance Tests check all the
characteristics that are designated as checked in Specifications.
