2-10 Performance Verification and Safety Tests
Test Equipment
Table 2-2 lists the equipment needed to perform the Performance Verification
tests, and provides specifications for commercially available analyzers and
simulators. Test equipment is called out within each test procedure when
needed. In addition, A 50 ohm test load is available (M1781A or M3725A).
