7-6. Performance Tests
For the following performance tests, refer to Chapter 4, “Front Panel Operations,” for
procedures on operating the 5500A from the front panel, or to Chapter 5, “Remote
Operations,” for procedures on operating the 5500A from a terminal or computer. Also
refer to Chapter 4 for connection information.
Zero the 5500A Calibrator before testing by completing “Zeroing the Calibrator” in
Chapter 4.
The performance tests have reserved columns for recording the Measured Value and
Deviation (%).
7-7. DC Voltage Amplitude Accuracy (NORMAL)
The DC Voltage Amplitude Accuracy test verifies the accuracy of dc voltage at the
5500A Calibrator front panel NORMAL terminals.
