FGEN Initial Setup
Note
This section is necessary for pre-adjustment verifications only. If you are
performing a post-adjustment verification, skip the setup and go directly to the
To set up the test equipment, complete the following steps.
1.
If VirtualBench is running, shut down all instruments on the VirtualBench, and close the
VirtualBench software. Remove all signal connections.
2.
Verify that the DMM has been calibrated within the proper calibration interval specified in
its specifications, and a self-calibration is performed.
Note
Ensure that the VirtualBench is warmed up for at least 30 minutes and the
DMM is warmed up for the minimum time required as specified in its user
documentation.
FGEN Verification
You can use the verification procedure described in this section for both pre-adjustment and
post-adjustment verification.
Verifying the FGEN Offset
Complete the following steps to verify the VirtualBench FGEN offset.
1.
Connect the voltage input HI and LO terminals of the DMM to the FGEN BNC using a
banana plug-to-BNC cable—observing the polarity of the banana plugs—as shown in
Figure 27.
