INTRODUCTION
This document contains the calibration procedure for the 100 MS/s
triple–channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator Model 3153. A list of
specifications is given in Appendix A of the Operations Manual. The
calibration procedures that are described in this document are for use
by qualified service personnel only. Do not perform these procedures
unless qualified to do so. This procedure is intended to be used once
before complete and final performance verification to verify that the
3153 meets or exceeds its published specifications.
Description
The 3153 is a VXI module. The output can generate a standard set of
waveforms. These waveforms include Sine, Triangle, Square, Pulse,
Ramp, Sinc, Gaussian, Exponential Decaying/Rising Pulse, Noise, and
DC. Arbitrary waveforms are generated by downloading data to memory.
Large waveform memories are provided so that multiple waveforms can
be loaded at once. Powerful sequencing allows the waveform segments
to be generated in any order. Communicating with the 3153 is done via
the VXI bus.
Environmental
Conditions
The 3153 can operate from 0
°
C to 50
°
C. Calibration should be
performed under laboratory conditions having an ambient temperature
of 25
°
C,
±
5
°
C and at relative humidity of less than 80%. Turn on the
power to the 3153 and allow it to warm up for at least 30 minutes before
beginning the adjustment procedure. If the instrument has been
subjected to conditions outside these ranges, allow at least one
additional hour for the instrument to stabilize before beginning the
adjustment procedure.
Initial Instrument
Setting
To avoid confusion as to what initial setting is to be used for each
calibration, it is required that the instrument be reset to factory default
values prior to each adjustment.
