136 Operating and Programming Manual
Introduction
In the interest of PRESERVING its usability the information
in this chapter has been retained in its original form without
changes. No attempt has been made to update the equipment,
accessories, or parts to current availability. It is therefore
necessary for the user of this manual to consider the
recommendations of test equipment and accessories as
suggestions. Some or all of these items may no longer be
available from Symmetricom or any other vendors.
This appendix provides procedures to test the electrical performance of the 5071A
Primary Frequency Standard, using the specifications listed in Chapter 6,
―Specifications.‖ Three types of tests are provided:
• Operational Verification
• Complete Performance Tests
• RS-232 Verification
Operational Verification
The Operational Verification test is an abbreviated series of checks that may be
performed to give a high degree of confidence that the instrument is operating
properly without performing the complete Performance Tests. An operational
verification is useful for incoming inspection, routine maintenance, and after
instrument repair.
Complete Performance Tests
The complete Performance Tests verify the specifications listed in Chapter 6 of
this manual. All tests can be performed without access to the inside of the
instrument.
RS-232 Verification
The RS-232 Serial Port verification checks the serial port for successful data
communication with a terminal or PC.
Test Record
The results of the Operational Verification, complete Performance Tests, and
RS-232 Verification should be recorded on a copy of the Performance Test
Record, located at the end of this chapter.
