Performance Verification
4.1 INTRODUCTION 4.3 INITIAL CONDITIONS
The procedures outlined in this section may be used to
verify that the instrument is operating within the limits
stated in the specifications at the front of this manual. Per-
fotiance verification may be performed when the instru-
ment is first received to ensure
that
no damage or misad-
justment has occurred during shipment. Verificatioiimay,
also be performed whenever there is a question of instru-
ment accuracy, or following calibration, if desired.
The Model 199 must be turned on and allowed to warm
up for at least two hours before beginning the verfication
procedures. If the instrument has been subject to extremes
of temperature (outside the range specified in paragraph
4.2), additional time should be allowed for internal
temperatures to reach normal operating temperature.
Typically, it takes one additional hour to stabilize a unit
that is 10°C (l8"F) outside the specified temperature range.
NOTE
If the instrument is still under warranty (less than
