Product Overview  
Product Description  
The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator is a waveform generator that can  
generate simple and arbitrary waveforms, one-channel differential output  
arbitrary waveforms, and function generator waveforms.  
The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator allows you to create sine, triangle,  
square, ramp, and complex waves, as well as direct current and noise signals.  
You can also set waveform attributes such as frequency, amplitude, and offset.  
This instrument contains a hard disk drive, a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive, and  
Ethernet interface for storing and recalling waveform data and instrument  
settings.  
You can control the instrument remotely by sending commands through both the  
GPIB and 100/10BASE-T interfaces, as well as transfer waveform data directly  
from a digital storage oscilloscope to the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform  
Generator using the GPIB interface. This enables you to use the instrument in  
combination with other measurement equipment and a computer.

Electrical Specification  
Table 1-2: Operation modes  
Characteristics  
Description  
Continuous  
Waveform is continuously output in this mode. When a sequence is defined, waveforms  
are sequentially or repeatedly output in the order defined by the sequence. The extended  
sequence functions, such as trigger input and event jump, are inactive in this mode.  
Triggered  
Gated  
Waveform is output only once when a trigger event is created. A trigger signal is created by  
the external trigger input signal, GPIB trigger command, and/or pressing the front panel  
FORCE TRIGGER button. The extended sequence functions such as trigger input and  
event jump, are inactive in this mode.  
The waveform is output in the same way as in the continuous mode only when the gate is  
opened. The gate is opened by the gated signal.  
Note that the output is made from the top of the first waveform for every gate period. The  
clock signal continuously outputs from the connector outside the gate period.  
Enhanced  
The waveforms are sequentially or repeatedly output according to the procedures defined  
in the sequence. All extended functions such as trigger input, event jump, and so on are  
effective and waveforms are controlled for output by the functions in this mode.

Supplying Operating Power  
WARNING. To avoid equipment failure and potential fire or personal shock  
hazards, do not exceed the maximum rated operating voltage of 250 V between  
the voltage-to-ground (earth) and either pole of the power source. The AWG710  
Arbitrary Waveform Generator operates from a single-phase power source and  
has a three-wire power cord with a two-pole, three-terminal grounding plug.  
Also, before making a connection to the power source, be sure the AWG710  
Arbitrary Waveform Generator has a suitable two-pole, three-terminal ground-  
ing-type plug.  
To avoid personal shock, do not touch any conductive parts. All accessible  
conductive parts are directly connected through the grounding conductor of the  
power cord to the grounded (earth) contact of the power plug. The AWG710  
Arbitrary Waveform Generator is safety Class 1 equipment (IEC designation).  
To prevent electrical shock, remove all power from the instrument, turn the  
PRINCIPAL POWER SWITCH on the back panel to OFF, and disconnect the  
power cord from the instrument. Some components in the AWG710 Arbitrary  
Waveform Generator are still connected to line voltage after toggling the  
instrument to Standby from the front panel ON/STBY button.  
Power Cord Information  
A power cord with the appropriate plug configuration is supplied with each  
AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator. Table 2–1 provides color-coding  
identification for the power cord conductors. If you require a power cord other  
than the one supplied, refer to Table 2–2.

Preparation for Use  
Operating Voltage  
The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator operates with any line voltage from  
90 to 250 VACRMS with any line frequency from 48 to 63 Hz. There are two  
fuses, either of which may be used throughout the line voltage and frequency  
ranges. The two fuses are not interchangeable as each requires a different fuse  
cap.  
Memory Backup Power  
Memory modules with on-board batteries allow the AWG710 Arbitrary  
Waveform Generator to retain only internal clock data upon loss of the AC power  
source.  
To set the date and time in the waveform generator, see the Reference:Internal  
Clock (Date and Time) section of the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator  
user manual.  
Operating Environment  
The following environmental requirements are provided to ensure proper  
operation and long instrument life.  
Operating Temperature  
Operate the Waveform Generator where the ambient air temperature ranges from  
10_ C to +40_ C (50_ F to +104_ F). Store the Waveform Generator at ambient  
temperatures from –20_ C to +60_ C (–4_ F to +140_ F). After storage at  
temperatures outside the operating limits, allow the chassis to stabilize to a safe  
operating temperature before applying power.  
Ventilation Requirements  
The Waveform Generator is cooled by air drawn in and then exhausted through  
the cabinet side panels by an internal fan. To ensure proper cooling of the  
Waveform Generator, allow at least 15 cm (6 in) clearance on both sides, 2.0 cm  
(0.8 in) on the top and bottom, and 7.5 cm (3 in) at the rear of the Waveform  
Generator. (The feet on the bottom of the Waveform Generator provide the  
required clearance when set on flat surfaces.)  
CAUTION. When the air flow is restricted and the temperature of the DAC module  
surface exceeds 80_ C, the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator may  
temporarily shut down to protect the internal modules. To prevent temporary  
shutdown of the waveform generator, do not restrict air flow through the chassis.  
The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator displays the message “Power fail  
or out of temperature limit” before shutting down.  
If the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator shuts down unexpectedly, create  
more ventilation around the waveform generator. Wait a few minutes to allow  
cool down and then switch the power on again.

Environment  
Verify that you have the correct operating environment.  
CAUTION. Damage to the instrument can occur if it is powered on at tempera-  
tures outside the specified temperature range.  
The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator operates correctly in ambient  
temperatures from +10_ C to +40_ C (50_ F to +104_ F) and relative humidity  
from 20% to 80% with no condensation. If the instrument is stored at tempera-  
tures outside this range, do not switch on the power until the chassis is within the  
operating temperature range. For detailed operating environment information,  
refer to Specifications on page 1–3 and 1–14.  
NOTE. If you are installing the instrument in a rack, refer to the instruction sheet  
that accompanies the rack-mounting kit for proper installation procedures.  
Verify that there is nothing blocking the flow of air at the fan and air intake  
holes. The instrument exhausts air using the internal fan. Create open space at the  
sides of the instrument so that it does not overheat. The following are the  
minimum space requirements for air flow around the instrument:  
Rear  
Left and right  
7.5 cm (3 in)  
15.0 cm (6 in)  
Top and bottom 2 cm (0.8 in)  
(The feet on the bottom of the instrument provide the required clearance  
when set on a flat surface.)

Menu Operations  
This section describes the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator menu system  
and numeric and text input methods.  
Menu System  
The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator uses menus to make selections.  
There are four menu buttons labeled EDIT, SETUP, APPL, and UTILITY shown  
in Figure 2–7. Pushing a menu button displays the corresponding screen and  
menu buttons. These menus let you edit waveforms, initialize instrument  
settings, define instrument operation, and specify waveform output parameters.  
You select items within the displayed menu by pushing the bottom or side bezel  
button nearest the menu item. These buttons consist of seven bottom buttons and  
five side buttons as shown in Figure 2–7. These menu bezel buttons are referred  
to as bottom menu buttons (or bottom buttons) and side menu buttons (or side  
buttons).  
The CLEAR MENU button cancels the current menu operation, clears the  
current menus from the screen, and returns to the previous instrument state.

In Double Windows, for example, you can display the hard disk and floppy disk  
file lists or the file list of two separate directories. All the functions invoked from  
the bottom buttons operate the same in single window except for the File  
function.  
The two most important functions used in the Double Windows are the Copy and  
Move file operations. These operations are discussed in Window Operation be-  
low.

sequence or equation/text while outputting an another waveform or sequence.  
However, when you push SETUP (front panel)! Waveform/Sequence  
(bottom)! Edit (side) to copy the waveform in the waveform memory to the edit  
buffer, you must save the currently edited waveform, pattern, sequence or  
equation/text into a file.  
You can enter the QUICK EDIT mode only from the waveform editor. When you  
enter the QUICK EDIT mode, the instrument copies the data from the edit buffer  
to the undo buffer. All the changes you make immediately reflect the data in the  
edit buffer and the data in the waveform memory if that data is being loaded to  
output.  
Before loading, you can view a waveform or pattern. Refer to Quick View for  
more detail.  
Viewing a Waveform  
To view the loaded waveform file, push the View side menu button. The  
instrument opens a window on the screen that displays the waveform, as shown  
in Figure 2–25. Push the OK side menu button or front panel ENTER button  
to close the view window.

Clock Oscillator. You can select either the internal or external reference clock  
source by using the SETUP horizontal menu.  
If you select the external source, the reference signal connected to the 10 MHz  
REF In connector on the rear panel will be used.  
The internal clock is from the reference clock oscillator, which uses direct digital  
synthesis (DDS). Figure 3–2 shows the clock oscillator configuration.  
Trigger Control. The Trigger Control block controls the Memory Address Control  
in the operation mode that you specified from the RUN MODE menu.  
Waveform Memory and Shift Register. The Waveform Memory block has 8 bits for  
waveform data and 2 bits per channel for markers, thus a total length of 16 M /32  
M (option 01) points. You can set any value from 960 points to 16 M/32 M  
(option 01) points for the length of the waveform data. It must be in increments  
of 4.  
The Shift Register block provides waveform data from the DAC at a rate of up to  
4.0 GS/s.  
RUN modes. Selecting a RUN mode from the SETUP menu causes one of the  
following modes to operate the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator. Table  
3–1 lists the available run modes.

A control command such as trigger, event or jump from remote device.  
Analog Circuit. The Analog Circuit block contains the Filter, Attenuator, Output  
Amplifier, Calibration and Offset Circuits. These circuits are used to process  
signals generated from the DAC. Option 02 has Calibration Circuits only.  
MemoryAddress Control. The Memory Address Control controls the addresses  
used to read waveform memory data.  
This block loads the first address of the waveform into the Address Counter that  
was loaded into the waveform memory. It loads the waveform data length to the  
Length Counter. The Address Counter specifies the point from which the  
waveform was generated and the Length Counter waveform ending position.  
The Address and Length Counters operate with clocks produced by quarter  
frequency-division for the clocks from the clock oscillator.  
If the repeat count value has been loaded in the Repeat Counter, the waveform is  
generated the specified number of times.  
This block controls the sequence to the event signals generated in Enhanced  
Mode.

Signal Edit Process  
This subsection describes the signal edit process.  
Load the desired waveform data to be output into the waveform memory. New  
waveform data can be created using waveform editors incorporated in the  
AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator. New data can also be created by  
combining the following:  
H
H
H
A sample waveform data distributed with floppy disks.  
Previously created waveform data on the built-in hard disk.  
Waveform data measured or created by other equipment, which has been  
read through the network.  
Digital waveform data is loaded to the waveform memory location. The memory  
address control extracts the waveform data from memory, including the clock  
speed and the specified order of waveforms relative to the trigger event control.  
When the AWG is in the Run mode, the digital output is processed through a  
high speed digital to analog converter (DAC). The output then goes through the  
analog output amplifier to the offset and filter circuitry and to the output  
connector.  
Waveform Data Structure  
The waveform data structure consists of analog waveform and digital pattern file  
formats. The waveform file format includes 8-bits of resolution for the DAC  
output and 2-bits for the digital marker output. The pattern file format includes  
10-bits for digital output. (The AWG710 supports two digital marker outputs.)  
The full scale resolution of the 8-bit DAC is represented by –1.0 to +1.0.  
Waveform and pattern files use different internal formats and editors. The  
waveform file format is composed of 4-byte little endian and 1-byte for each data  
point and markers. The 4-bytes point data is expressed as an IEEE floating point  
number. The pattern data file is composed of 2-bytes including data and markers.  
Waveform files contain floating point numbers that maintain the mathematical  
data precision necessary for waveform math operations such as multiplying,  
dividing, adding, and subtracting. Waveform files may be edited, but are much  
larger for an equivalent record length compared to pattern files.  
Pattern files are most useful for minimizing file size and file transfer time  
between the AWG and a PC.  
For more details about file format, refer to the Data Transfer subsection in the  
AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator Programmer manual.

Waveform Edit  
To edit waveforms, the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator provides you  
with Waveform, Pattern, Sequence, Equation, and Text Editors. See Table 3–2  
for a description of those editors.  
Table 3-2: Editors  
Editors  
Descriptions  
Waveform Editor The Waveform Editor lets you create or edit a waveform that is displayed on  
the screen. It enables you to create any waveform by an operation such as  
cut and paste, partialinversion about the horizontalor verticalaxis, shift, or  
scaling. This operation can be based on a standard waveform, such as a  
sine or rectangular wave, or the previously created waveform.  
The Waveform Editor also has a unique feature that edits a waveform with  
waveform calculation functions (absolute value of waveform, differentiation/  
integration, convolution, correlation, addition/subtraction/multiplication  
between waveforms and so on).  
Pattern Editor  
The Pattern Editor dispal ys a digitalsignalpattern with a pattern data pal ced  
in 8Ćbit creation waveform memory; it creates a digitalsignalpattern  
according to the High/Low settings you made for the individualbits.  
In addition to the functions supported by the Waveform Editor, the Pattern  
Editor is capable of generating frequently used digital signals unique to  
digitalsignasl and pseudo random patterns.  
Sequence Editor The Sequence Editor lets you create a more complex waveform by  
combining different types of waveform data that you created using the  
Waveform and/or Pattern Editors. This editor also enables a Waveform  
listing jump and output stop to take place. They follow the external event  
information from the EVENT IN connector as well as the number of  
repetitions and the order for the individualpieces of waveform data.  
Text Editor  
The Text Editor creates an equation, more exactly, a waveform by a method  
of equations. When an equation is created using this editor, you must  
perform a compile.  
The Text Editor allows you to edit plain ASCII files. It should be used to edit  
ASCII format waveform data originated from other equipment as well as this  
instrument itself.  
Quick Edit  
The Quick Editor lets you modify and/or output any part of a waveform you are  
currently editing with the Waveform Editor. This is done in real time. The data  
between cursors can be scaled or shifted vertically and/or horizontally (using  
Expand/Shift).

Performance Verification  
Self Tests  
Self Tests use internal routines to confirm basic functionality and proper  
adjustment. No test equipment is required to do these test procedures.  
The self tests include internal diagnostics to verify that the instrument passes the  
internal circuit tests, and calibration routines to check and adjust the instrument  
internal calibration constants.  
Diagnostics  
This procedure uses internal routines to verify that the instrument is operating  
correctly. No test equipment or hookups are required.  
The instrument automatically performs the internal diagnostics when powered  
on. You can also run the internal diagnostics using the menu selections described  
in this procedure. The difference between these two methods of initiating the  
diagnostics is that the menu method performs a more detailed memory check.  
Equipment  
required  
None  
Prerequisites  
Power on the instrument and allow a twentyĆminute warmĆup period  
before doing this procedure.  
Confirm that there is no output being performed by verifying that the RUN LED  
is not on. If the LED is on, push the RUN button to turn it off.  
Do the following to verify that the instrument passes the internal circuit tests:  
Push UTILITY (front-panel)! Diag (bottom)! Diagnostic All (side).  
The diagnostic menu is displayed and all tests are selected. Refer to  
Figure 4–1. If All is not displayed, select All using the general purpose  
knob.  
The list displayed on the screen shows the test items and results in the calibration  
and diagnostics previously performed. Select all of the test items shown on the  
screen or use the general purpose knob to select a single test item that you want to  
run. The results of the diagnostics are shown as error codes. Pass means that the test  
results occurred without error. If an error is detected, an error code is displayed.  
You can also specify how many times to perform the diagnostic tests. Push the  
Cycle side button and then turn the general purpose knob to select the cycle from  
1, 3, 10, 100 or Infinite. When you select Infinite, the tests are repeatedly  
performed and are not be terminated until you push the Abort Diagnostic side  
button.

Arbitrary Waveform Generator diagnostics automatically.  
NOTE. Push the Abort Diagnostic button (side menu) to stop a selected diagnos-  
tic after it is completed. This button does not stop the diagnostic while it is  
processing. The Abort button stops any further diagnostics from operating.  
The internal diagnostics do an extensive verification of AWG710 Arbitrary  
Waveform Generator functions. While this verification progresses, the screen  
displays the clock icon. When finished, the resulting status appears on the  
screen.  
Verify that no failures are found and reported on-screen. If the diagnostics  
terminates without error, Pass is displayed instead of the - - -. If a value is  
displayed, meaning an error is detected, consult a qualified service technician for  
further assistance.  
Push any bottom or menu button (other than UTILITY) to exit the diagnostic  
screen.

Calibration  
The instrument includes internal calibration routines that check electrical  
characteristics such as offset, attenuations and filters. Perform calibration to  
adjust internal calibration constants as necessary. This procedure describes how  
to do the internal calibration.  
Equipment  
required  
None  
Prerequisites  
Power on the instrument and allow a 20 minute warmĆup period at an  
ambient temperature between +20_ C and +30_ C before doing this  
procedure.  
Confirm that there is no output being performed by verifying that the RUN LED  
is not on. If the LED is on, push the RUN button to turn it off.  
NOTE. Some calibration items may fail if you start calibration while output is  
being performed.  
Do the following steps to verify that the internal adjustments have passed:  
1. Push UTILITY (front-panel)! Diag (bottom)! Execute Calibration  
(side).  
This executes the AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator calibration  
routines automatically.  
The internal calibration does an extensive verification of proper AWG710  
Arbitrary Waveform Generator functions. While this verification progresses, the  
message box displaying Executing Calibration appears on the screen. When  
finished, the resulting status will appear in the message box as shown in  
Figure 4–2.

Maintenance  
Preparation  
Before servicing this product, read the Safety Summary and Introduction at the  
front of the manual and the ESD information below.  
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage any semiconductor component in this  
generator. If you are removing a module for service, begin by doing the Access  
Procedure on page 6–16. By following the instructions in that procedure, you  
remove the module to be serviced while removing the minimum number of  
additional modules.  
Preventing ESD  
When performing any service that requires internal access to the waveform  
generator, adhere to the following precautions to avoid damaging internal  
modules and components due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).  
1. Minimize handling of static-sensitive modules.  
2. Transport and store static-sensitive modules in their static protected  
containers or on a metal rail. Label any package that contains static-sensitive  
modules.  
3. Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic  
wrist strap while handling these modules. Do service of static-sensitive  
modules only at a static-free work station.  
4. Do not allow anything capable of generating or holding a static charge on the  
work station surface.  
5. Handle circuit boards by the edges when possible.  
6. Do not slide the modules over any surface.  
7. Avoid handling modules in areas that have a floor or work-surface covering  
capable of generating a static charge.

Maintenance  
Inspection and Cleaning  
Inspection and Cleaning describes how to inspect for dirt and damage. It also  
describes how to clean the exterior and interior of the AWG710 Arbitrary  
Waveform Generators. Inspection and cleaning are done as preventive mainte-  
nance. Preventive maintenance, when done regularly, may prevent waveform  
generator malfunctions and enhance its reliability.  
Preventive maintenance consists of visually inspecting and cleaning the  
waveform generator and using general care when operating it.  
How often you perform preventive maintenance depends on the severity of the  
environment in which the waveform generator is used. It is recommended that  
you perform preventive maintenance just prior to doing the generator adjustment.  
General Care  
The cabinet helps keep dust out of the waveform generator and should normally  
be in place when operating the generator. The generator’s front cover protects the  
front panel and display from dust and damage. Install the front cover when  
storing or transporting the generator.  
Inspection and Cleaning  
Procedures  
Inspect and clean the waveform generator as often as operating conditions  
require. The collection of dirt on components inside can cause them to overheat  
and breakdown. (Dirt acts as an insulating blanket, preventing efficient heat  
dissipation.) Dirt also provides an electrical conduction path that could cause an  
generator failure, especially under high-humidity conditions.  
CAUTION. Avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents which can damage plastics  
used in this waveform generator. Use only deionized water when cleaning the  
menu buttons or front panel buttons. Use an ethyl alcohol solution as a cleaner  
and rinse with deionized water. Before using any other type of cleaner, consult  
your Tektronix Service Center or representative.

faulty modules in the waveform generator. If a module needs to be replaced,  
follow the Removal and Installation Procedures in this section.  
This subsection consists of the following flowcharts:

Figure 6–31: Troubleshooting Procedure 4 - Module Isolation on page 6–58.  
See Figure 6–27 for power supply connectors and Figure 6–30 for the A10  
connector board.  
Diagnostics  
The waveform generator has two levels of internal diagnostics that focus on  
verifying, adjusting, and if necessary, isolating faulty modules.  
Both levels of the internal diagnostics report any bad modules and/or interfaces.  
If a bad module and/or interface is found, use the troubleshooting procedures in  
this section to determine which module needs to be replaced.  
The two levels of diagnostics are the short confidence set and the extended set  
that tests the oscilloscope circuitry in depth and takes more time. Upon powering  
on, the waveform generator automatically executes the short set. The extended  
set is optional and is executed by using the following procedure:  
Prerequisites: Power on the waveform generator and allow a 20 minute warm-up  
before doing this procedure:  
1. Display the diagnostics menu: Press UTILITY ! Diag.  
2. Select the menu: Select ALL using the general purpose knob.  
3. Run the diagnostics: Press Execute Diagnostic.  
4. Wait: The internal diagnostics do an exhaustive verification of proper  
function. This verification will take several minutes. When finished, the  
waveform generator will display a report listing any bad modules and/or  
interfaces.
