Performance Verification Tests Overview
Performance verification tests is an extensive set of tests that are recommended 
as an acceptance test when you first receive the instrument.
Use the performance verification test to verify the measurement performance of 
the instrument. The performance verification test uses the instrument’s 
specifications listed in Chapter 6, “Characteristics and Specifications”. 
Performance verification tests
The performance verification test is recommended as acceptance tests when you 
first received the instrument. The acceptance test results should be compared 
against the one-year test limits. After acceptance, you should repeat the 
performance verification tests at every calibration interval.
If the instrument fails performance verification, adjustment or repair is required. 
Contact your local Keysight Service Center for details.
This test checks the full-scale reading accuracy of the instrument.
DC Voltage Verification Test
1 Connect the calibrator to the front panel Hi and Lo input terminals.
2 Select each function and range in the order shown in Table 4-2. Provide the 
input shown in Table 4-2
3 Make a measurement and observe the result. Compare measurement results 
to the appropriate test limits shown in the Table 4-2. (Be certain to allow for 
appropriate source settling when using the Fluke 5520A).
Make sure you have read “Test Considerations” on page 74 before doing the 
performance verification tests.
