Testing Performance
This section documents performance test procedures. Performance verification for the
products covered by this manual consists of three main steps:
• Performing the internal product self-tests to ensure that the measurement system is
functioning properly
• Calibrating the product
• Testing the product to ensure that it is performing to specification
Performance Test Interval
The procedures in this section may be performed for incoming inspection and should be
performed periodically to verify that the instrument is operating within specification. The
recommended test interval is once per year or after 2000 hours of operation. Performance
should also be tested after repairs or major upgrades.
Performance Test Record
A test record form is provided at the end of this section. This record lists performance tests,
test limits and provides space to record test results.
Test Order
Th e t es t s in t h is s ec t i on m a y b e p e r f or m ed i n a n y o rd e r de s ir ed . H owe ve r , i t is r e c o m m e n d ed
to conduct the tests in the order presented in this manual as this represents an incremental
approach to performance verification. This may be useful if you are attempting to
troubleshoot a suspected problem.
Test Equipment
Lists of equipment needed to conduct each test are provided for each test procedure. The
procedures are written to minimize the number and types of instruments and accessories
required. The instruments in these lists are ones that are currently available for sale by
Agilent at the time of writing this document. In some cases, the test procedures use features
specific to the instruments in the recommended equipment list. However, with some
modification to the test procedures, instruments, cables and accessories that satisfy the
critical specifications in these lists may be substituted for the recommended models with
some modification to the test procedures.
