Sine Wave
Characteristics
This tests the characteristics of the sine waveform including distortion,
spectral purity, and flatness. Tests are done for both the DAC route
(arbitrary and standard waveforms) and the DDS route (CW and
modulated waveforms).

Equipment: Distortion Analyzer, Spectrum Analyzer, and
ArbConnection
Preparation:
1. Connect 3152B output to the distortion analyzer input.
Configure the 3152B as follows:
SCLK:
As required by the test
Waveform: Arbitrary
Amplitude: 5
