AFG31000 Series Arbitrary Function Generator Service Manual

Diagnostics

When the arbitrary function generator is powered up, the instrument automatically executes a

diagnostic test for all diagnostic items before the startup screen appears.

If an error is detected, the diagnostic test displays an error message. If you see an error message,

select OK to proceed with the next step. The arbitrary function generator software starts. If the

instrument contains an unresolved error, the test will not execute.

See Diagnostic error codes for more information.

Perform diagnostics and calibration

When powering on the instrument, it performs a limited set of hardware tests. You can also run the

following manual diagnostic and calibration functions from the Utility menu (see Utility menu options

for more detail). This procedure uses internal routines to verify that the instrument is operating

correctly.

 Diagnostics (self-test): Perform diagnostics to verify that your instrument is operating

correctly.

 Calibration (self-calibration): The calibration function checks dc accuracy using the internal

calibration routines.
