3 Testing Performance
 
Performance Verification General Information
Performance Test Interval
The procedures in this section may be performed for incoming inspection and 
should be performed periodically to verify that the oscilloscope is operating within 
specification. The recommended test interval is once per year or after 2000 hours 
of operation. Performance should also be tested after repairs or major upgrades.
Performance Test Record
A test record form is provided at the end of this section. This record lists 
performance tests and test limits, and provides space to record test results.
Test Order
The tests in this section may be performed in any order. However, we recommend 
conducting the tests in the order presented, as the order represents an 
incremental approach to performance verification. This approach may be useful 
when you are troubleshooting a suspected problem.
Test Equipment
Lists of equipment needed to conduct each test are provided for each test 
procedure. The procedures are written to minimize the number and types of test 
equipment and accessories required. The test equipment in these lists are 
currently available for sale by Keysight at the time this document was written. In 
some cases, the test procedures use features specific to the test equipment in the 
recommended equipment list. However, other equipment, cables, and accessories 
that satisfy the critical specifications in these lists may be substituted for the 
recommended models with some modification to the test procedures.
Contact Keysight Technologies for more information about the Keysight products 
in these lists.
