18-4 Performance Verification
Recommended test equipment
Table 18-1 summarizes recommended verification equipment. You can use alternate equip-
ment, but keep in mind that test equipment accuracy will add to the uncertainty of each measure-
ment. Generally, the test equipment should have accuracy or uncertainty at least four times better
than corresponding Model 6514 specifications.
