F-3
Prerequisites
The tests in this section comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of perfor-
mance and functionality, when the following requirements are met:
H The waveform generator must be operating as an integral part of an
appropriately configured mainframe
H The operating conditions must comply with those specified for the system
mainframe in which the waveform generator is installed
H The test environment must comply with the limits described in Table E–2
Environmental Characteristics
H The waveform generator must have been calibrated at an ambient tempera-
ture between +20_ C to +30_ C following a 20 minute warm up period
H The waveform generator must be operating for at least 20 minutes before the
tests are performed
Equipment Required
The performance verification procedures have been written using the test
equipment listed in Table F–1. If alternate equipment is used, the equipment
must meet or exceed the minimum requirements shown in Table F–1.
