Manual. However, information specific to the
performance testing of the HP 83522A can be

are also found in this section. None of the tests
performed in this section expose the operator to
hazardous voltage, nor do they require that any
protective covers be removed.

4-4. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
4-5. Equipment required for testing or adjust-
ing the 83522A is listed in Section I, Table 1-4.
Any equipment which satisfies the critical
specifications listed in Table 1-4 may be
substituted for the recommended model.
4-6. TEST RECORD
4-7. Table 4-2 provides a tabulated index of the
performance tests, their acceptable limits, and a
column for recording actual measurements.
4-8. The test procedures in Section IV of the
8350A Operating and Service Manual frequently
refer the operator to the Test Record Card in this
section. IVieasurement conditions unique to this
plug-in are tabulated under the columns entitled
"STEP" and "TEST CONDITIONS". The
number in the STEP column refers to the
procedure step in the 8350A manual; the
information in the TEST CONDITIONS
column corresponds to the instructions given
within that step. For example, in the ~requency
Accuracy Test, 8350A Operating and Service
Manual, step 6 instructs the operator to set CW
frequencies at "three points in each band as
shown on the test card." The corresponding Step
6 on the test card provides three CW frequencies
specifically for the 83522k
