8003 Precision Scalar Analyzer
4-6 Manual 20791, Rev. C, June 2001
4.3 Performance Verification Tests
Information in this section is useful for periodic evaluation of the 8003 and its power sensors. These tests
can also be used for incoming inspection testing when the instrument is first received, if required.
If the 8003 has not previously been used, review the precautions in Section 1.2.1 of the manual before
the instrument is turned on. Prior to starting the following procedures, the instrument should be allowed
to warm up for at least 24 hours to assure maximum stability during testing.
The instrument plus power sensor linearity test is valid when the sensor has been calibrated using the
front panel calibrator at a temperature between 0°C and +50°C (+32°F to +122°F), and if operating
within ±5°C (±9°F) of that calibration temperature.
It is recommended that the verification be done in the order described since some of the steps use the
configuration from a previous step.
4.3.1 Equipment Required
See Table 4-1 for a list of the equipment required for performance testing of the 8003 Precision Scalar
Analyzer.
Performance Verification Test Data Recording sheets are located on pages 4-14 thru 4-17. These sheets
can be copied used for recording test results each time specifications and performance verification
testing is performed on the specific instrument described by this manual.
