Overview of Utilities

This section describes all available utilities for E8257D, E8267D, E8257N and E8663D signal generators. These utilities are performed so that the performance tests and adjustments are properly completed.

  • The Timebase Utility is used to adjust the 10 MHz timebase for instruments with Option UNR.

  • When performing adjustments using an 82357A/B USB/GPIB interface converter and PSG-D units with serial prefix >= 4928, SCPI errors or a GPIB timeout may occur. If these errors occur with the USB/GPIB interface, repeat the adjustments using a GPIB card connection to the PSG-D.

The following utilities are run from the Utilities Test Plan. Click on the links below to go to the topic page for information on conditions for when to run the utility.
