Test Record
D.2 Test Record 
Results of the performance test may be tabulated on the Test Record 
provided at the end of the test procedures. It is recommended that 
you fill out the Test Record and refer to it while doing the test. 
Since the test limits and setup information are printed on the Test 
Record for easy reference, the record can also be used as an 
abbreviated test procedure (if you are already familiar with the test 
procedures). The Test Record can also be used as a permanent 
record and may be reproduced without written permission from 
Agilent Technologies.

If the Agilent 8156A fails any performance test, return the 
instrument to the nearest Agilent Technologies Sales/Service Office 
for repair.

Terms” on page 165, are the performance standards or limits 
against which the Agilent 8156A can be tested. The specifications 
also list some supplemental characteristics of the Agilent 8156A. 
Supplemental characteristics should be considered as additional 
information.
