Performance Veri fi cation Procedures
Test Equipment
These procedures use external, traceable signal sources to directly test
characteristics that are designated as checked
in the Speci fi cations chapter of
this manual. Always warm up the equipment for 30 minutes before beginning
the procedures.

Some timing generators (for example, the Tektronix DTG5274) include an internal DC voltage source that can be used instead of a separate power source.
2 Only needed to verify the output of the voltage source if the source does not meet speci fi cation. In this case, the DMM becomes the traceable instrument.
