Operation Verification and Performance Tests
The operation verification tests give a high confidence level (>90%) that the
Agilent 89410A DC-10 MHz Vector Signal Analyzer is operating properly and
within specifications. The operation verification tests are a subset of the
performance tests. The operation verification tests should be used for
incoming and after-repair inspections. The performance tests provide the
highest level of confidence and are used to verify that the Agilent 89410A
DC-10 MHz Vector Signal Analyzer conforms to its published specifications.
Some repairs require a performance test to be done after the repair (see
chapter 3, ‘’Replacing Assemblies’’ in the Agilent 89410A Service Guide for
this information). The following table lists the operation verification and
performance tests.
