Performance Verification Test Overview
Performance verification test is an extensive set of tests that are recommended
as an acceptance test when you first received the instrument.
Use the performance verification test to verify the measurement performance
of the instrument. The performance verification test uses the instrument's
specifications listed in Chapter 6, “Specifications and Characteristics”.
Performance Verification Test
The performance verification test is recommended as acceptance tests when
you first received the instrument. The acceptance test results should be
compared against the one- year test limits. After acceptance, you should repeat
the performance verification tests at every calibration interval.
If the instrument fails performance verification, adjustment or repair is
required. Contact your local Agilent Service Center for details.
This test checks the full- scale reading accuracy of the instrument.
DC Voltage Verification Test
1 Connect the calibrator to the front panel Hi and Lo input terminals.
2 Select each function and range in the order shown in Table 4- 2. Provide the
input shown in Table 4- 2.
3 Make a measurement and observe the result. Compare measurement results
to the appropriate test limits shown in the Table 4- 2. (Be certain to allow
for appropriate source settling when using the Fluke 5520A.)
Make sure you have read “Test Considerations” on page 64 before doing the performance
verification test.
