Amplitude Flatness Verification
This test verifies the output amplitude flatness specification at selected
frequencies. If you use a Temperature Voltage Converter (TVC) (the
recommended method)
or a wide band ACrms voltmeter (with a 50 Ω feed through load), perform
this procedure as described. If you are using a measurement device that
requires a transfer measurement (for example, a power meter), make the
transfer in the reference measurement at 100 kHz.
Set the function generator to the first output indicated in the table below and
make a reference measurement. Set each function generator output shown in
the table below. Measure the output of the function generator. Compare the
amplitude level measured to the reference measurement +/- the error shown
in the table. This test is a 50 Ω output termination test.

a.The E1441A has a fixed output impedance of 50 Ω on the "Output" terminal.
Use the OUTPut:LOAD 50 | INFinity | MIN | MAX command to set the output
termination. HIGH Z assumes no load on output. 50 Ω assumes a 50 Ω ± 0.1 Ω
load on output.
