Performance Test Interval - Agilent Technologies Infiniium 80000 Series Service Manual

This section documents performance test procedures. Performance verification for the
products covered by this manual consists of three main steps:
• Performing the internal product self-tests to ensure that the measurement system is
functioning properly
• Calibrating the product
• Testing the product to ensure that it is performing to specification

Performance Test Interval

The procedures in this section may be performed for incoming inspection and should
be performed periodically to verify that the oscilloscope is operating within
specification. The recommended test interval is once per year or after 2000 hours of
operation. Performance should also be tested after repairs or major upgrades.
Performance Test Record
A test record form is provided at the end of this section. This record lists performance
tests, test limits and provides space to record test results.
Test Order
The tests in this section may be performed in any order desired. However, it is
recommended to conduct the tests in the order presented in this manual as this
represents an incremental approach to performance verification. This may be useful if
you are attempting to troubleshoot a suspected problem.
Test Equipment
Lists of equipment needed to conduct each test are provided for each test procedure.
The procedures are written to minimize the number and types of oscilloscopes and
accessories required. The oscilloscopes in these lists are ones that are currently available
for sale by Agilent at the time of writing this document. In some cases, the test
procedures use features specific to the oscilloscopes in the recommended equipment
list. However, with some modification to the test procedures, oscilloscopes, cables and
accessories that satisfy the critical specifications in these lists may be substituted for
the recommended models with some modification to the test procedures.
Contact Agilent Technologies for more information about the Agilent products in these
lists.
Fluke MET/CAL Procedures
Fluke MET/CAL procedures are available for the 80000 Series oscilloscopes.
The MET/CAL badge with "PROCEDURES AVAILABLE" signifies that Fluke has created
