Performance Tests
4A-1.
INTRODUCTION
The information in the following
paragraphs describes the
performance
tests for the key
parameters of the
Signal
Generator, using the
instrument specifications as the
performance
standard. These covers-on
performance
tests may be used as an acceptance
test upon
receipt
of the instrument, as
an indication
that repair and/or calibration
is
required, or as a performance verification
after completing repairs
or calibration
of the
instrument. Individual performance
tests can be used as
troubleshooting
aids.
The Signal
Generator being
tested
(UUT) must
be warmed
up with
all
covers in place for
at least
20 minutes before
starting
the performance tests.
Periodic
calibration is recommended once
a year.

Table 4A-1 gives a list of the
recommended test equipment for the
performance
tests,
