Performance Verification Tests
Use the Performance Verification Tests to verify the measurement
performance of the instrument. The performance verification tests use
the instrument’s specifications listed in the “Specifications” chapter
beginning on page 13.
You can perform four different levels of performance verification tests:
• Self-Test A series of internal verification tests that give high
confidence that the instrument is operational.
• Quick Verification A combination of the internal self-tests and
selected verification tests.
• Performance Verification Tests An extensive set of tests that are
recommended as an acceptance test when you first receive the
instrument or after performing adjustments.
• Optional Verification Tests Tests not performed with every
calibration. Perform these tests following repairs to the output amplifier.
