INTRODUCTION
4-2. This section of
the
manual contains maintenance
information
for both
the Model
8010A and the

is divided
into

a performance test, a calibration
procedure, and a

Performance
Test is

when
the instrument is
first
received, and later
as a
preventive
maintenance tool to
verify proper instrument
operation. A
1-year calibration cycle is
recommended
to
maintain
the specifications
given in Section

The
test
equipment
required
for both the performance test and
calibration
procedure is listed in
Table

equipment
is
not available, instruments
having
equivalent
specifications may
be
used.
