SECTION 4
PERFORMANCE TESTS
4-1. INTRODUCTION
4-2. The procedures in this section provide three groups of tests to check for proper operation of the HP 5334B
Universal Counter. The first is a quick method of verifying the basic functioning of the counter when its normal
operation is in question. The second is a complete test of the instrument's electrical performance using the speci-
fications of
Table 1-1 as the performance standards. And the third is an HP-IB verification test using either the HP
9000 Series
200/300 computer or the HP 85A computer as a controller. All tests can be performed without access to
the interior of the instrument.
4-3. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
4-4. Equipment required for the performance tests is listed in Table 1-4, Recommended Test Equipment. Any
equipment that satisfies the critical specifications given in the table may be substituted for the recommended
model(s).
4-5. OPERATIONAL VERIFICATION/PERFORMANCE TEST RECORD
4-6. Results of the operation verification tests may be recorded on a copy of the Operational Verification Test
Record which follows the verification tests,
Table 4-1. The results of the complete performance tests may be
recorded on a copy of the Performance Test Record which follows the performance tests,
Table 4-2.

4-7. CALIBRATION CYCLE
4-8. To maintain the HP 5334B in optimum operating condition, depending on the use and environmental con-
ditions, it is suggested that the instrument be
checkedusing the
tests at least once each year. The
Counter's reference oscillator must be checked and adjusted, if necessary, to a house frequency standard before
beginning the performance tests. Refer to Adjustment Procedure 5-15 in Section V of this manual. Follow the
preliminary instructions given in the INTRODUCTION and SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS paragraphs in Sec-
tion
V.
4-9. Additionally, to maintain peak instrument performance between yearly checks, the instruments containing
the standard time base crystal oscillator,
i.e., all non-Option 010 units, should be adjusted every 3 months to a
house frequency standard using Adjustment Procedure 5-15, Reference Oscillator Adjustment in Section V of
this manual. Again, refer to the preliminary instructions before beginning the adjustment procedure.
4-10. TEST PROCEDURES
4-11. It is assumed that the person performing the following tests understands how to operate the specified test
equipment. Equipment settings, other than those for the Universal Counter, are stated in general terms. It is also
assumed that the person performing the tests will supply whatever cables, connectors, and adapters that are
necessary.
