Chapter overview
Power-on test
When the counter is first turned ON, a limited turn-on test is performed to verify
the counter is sufficiently functional to perform basic operations.
Self-test
Running the counter Self-Test initiates a series of checks against internal
standards. Successful completion of the Self-Test provides a high confidence level
that the counter is completely functional. No external test equipment is required
for this operator-initiated test.
Operational verification
The operational verification is an abbreviated check that may be performed to give
a strong degree of confidence that the instrument is capable of making basic
measurements accurately without running the complete performance tests. An
operational verification is useful for incoming inspection and routine preventative
maintenance.
Complete performance verification tests
The complete performance verification tests verify the specifications listed on the
Keysight 53210A/53220A/53230A Product Reference CD-ROM as “Keysight
53210A/53220A/53230A Specifications.” All tests can be performed without
accessing the inside of the instrument. The complete performance tests are
recommended as acceptance tests upon initial receipt of your counter. They will
also help you to become familiar with its performance and operation. Complete
performance tests should be run at least once a year to ensure the counter is
meeting all specifications.
Quick performance check A combination of selected performance tests
(marked ‘Q’) plus the counter Self-Test provides a simple method to achieve a
high confidence in the counter’s ability to both functionally operate and to meet
specifications. These tests represent the absolute minimum set of performance
checks recommended following any service activity.
