Streamline your Agilent 33120A performance verification with fully automated software designed for speed, consistency, and ease of use. This PayPerCal procedure helps reduce manual effort by automating the manufacturer-based performance verification process while guiding the user through the required setup and measurements.

With PayPerCal, you only pay when you run the software—no subscription and no large upfront software cost.

Based on Manufacturer Documentation

This automated procedure is based on the official:

Agilent 33120A Service Guide
Publication Number: 33120-90017
Edition 6, March 2002

The software is built around the performance verification methods described in this manual. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Performance Verification Test Coverage

This automated procedure includes the core performance verification tests listed in the service guide:

• Frequency Verification
• Function Gain and Linearity Verification
• DC Function Offset Verification
• AC Amplitude Verification
• Amplitude Flatness Verification
• AM Modulation Depth Verification

These test names are taken directly from Chapter 4 of the Agilent 33120A Service Guide.

Key Features

• Fully Automated Test Execution – Control supported instruments directly and run the verification procedure with minimal user interaction.
• Manufacturer-Based Procedure – Built around the service guide performance verification methods for the Agilent 33120A.
• Automatic Data Collection and Evaluation – Measurements are captured, compared to limits, and evaluated automatically.
• Guided User Prompts – Clear on-screen setup and connection prompts help reduce operator error.
• Improved Efficiency – Reduce manual effort and standardize the verification process.
• Pay-Per-Use Access – Pay only when you need to run the software.

Required Standards

This PayPerCal procedure is configured for the following required standards:

• Keysight N191XA or E441xA/B power meter
• Agilent 8482A or N8482A
• Agilent 34401A or 34461A Digital Multimeter
• Agilent 53131A or 53132A Frequency Counter
• 20 dB attenuator and 50 ohm feed-through load

Why Automate the 33120A?

Manual verification of function generators can be time-consuming and repetitive, especially when multiple measurements and instrument connections are involved. Automation helps improve repeatability, reduce technician workload, and create a more consistent process from one run to the next.
