Page 65 Performance Veriﬁcation Two types of Performance Veriﬁcation procedures can be performed on this product: Brief Procedures and Performance Tests. You may not need to perform all of these procedures, depending on what you want to accomplish. To rapidly conﬁrm that the instrument functions and was adjusted properly, just do the brief procedures under Self Tests.
Page 66: Conventions
Performance Veriﬁcation Conventions Throughout these procedures the following conventions apply: Each test procedure uses the following general format: Title of Test Equipment Required Prerequisites Procedure Each procedure consists of as many steps, substeps, and subparts as required to do the test. Steps, substeps, and subparts are sequenced as follows: 1.
Page 67: Figure 2-1: Toolbar And Menu Bar (< 4 Ghz Models Shown)
Performance Veriﬁcation Figure 2-1: Toolbar and menu bar (< 4 GHz models shown) The procedures assume you have connected a mouse to the instrument so you can click on the screen controls. If you have not connected a mouse, you can use the touch screen to operate the screen controls.
Page 68: Brief Procedures
Brief Procedures Brief Procedures The Self Tests use internal routines to conﬁrm basic functionality and proper adjustment. No test equipment is required to do these test procedures. The Functional Tests utilize the probe-compensation output at the front panel as a test-signal source for further verifying that the instrument functions properly.
Page 69: Functional Tests
Brief Procedures 1. Verify that internal diagnostics pass: Do the following substeps to verify passing of internal diagnostics. a. Display the System diagnostics menu: If the instrument is in toolbar mode, put the instrument into menu bar mode. Pull down the Utilities menu and select Instrument Diagnostics..This displays the diagnostics control window.

Page 190: Sine Wave Generator Leveling Procedure
Performance Tests Sine Wave Generator Leveling Procedure Some procedures in this manual require a sine wave generator to produce the necessary test signals. If you do not have a leveled sine wave generator, use one of the following procedures to level the output amplitude of your sine wave generator.
Page 191 Performance Tests 3. Record the reference level: Note the reading on the level meter. 4. Set the generator to the new frequency and reference level: Change the sine wave generator to the desired new frequency. Input the correction factor and/or the new frequency into the level meter. Adjust the sine wave generator amplitude until the level meter again reads the value noted in step 3.
Page 192 Performance Tests Figure 2-40: Equipment setup for maximum amplitude 3. Record the reference level: Disconnect the sine wave generator from the instrument. Connect the sine wave generator to the power sensor. Note the level meter reading. 4. Set the generator to the new frequency and reference level: Change the sine wave generator to the desired new frequency.
