Verification Tests
Introduction The three levels of test procedures described in this chapter are used to
verify that the Agilent E1445A:
• is fully functional (Functional Verification)
• meets selected testable specifications (Operation Verification)
• meets all testable specifications (Performance Verification)
WARNING
Do not perform any of the following verification tests unless
you are a qualified, service-trained technician and have read the
WARNINGS and CAUTIONS in Chapter 1.
Test Conditions/
Procedures
See Table 1-1 for test equipment requirements. You should complete the
Performance Verification tests at least once a year. For heavy use or severe
operating environments, perform the tests more often.
Before performing these tests, allow the AFG to warm up for at least one hour.
The temperature should be within
±5
o
C of T
cal
(the temperature of the most
recent calibration), and between 18
o
C and 28
o
C.
The verification tests assume that the person performing the tests
understands how to operate the mainframe, the AFG, and specified test
equipment. The test procedures do not specify equipment settings for test
equipment, except in general terms. It is assumed that a qualified,
service-trained technician will select and connect the cables, adapters, and
probes required for the test.
Performance
Test Record
The results of each Performance Verification test may be recorded in Table
2-11, Agilent E1445A Performance Test Record. This form can be copied.
Verification Test
Examples
Each verification test procedure includes an example program that performs
the test. All example programs assume the following configuration:
• Controller is an HP 9000 Series 200/300 computer
• Programming language is HP BASIC
• AFG address is 70910
