Performance Verification Tests - Keysight Truevolt Series Operating And Service Manual

Performance Verification Tests

The performance verification tests are recommended as acceptance tests when you first receive the instru-
ment. The acceptance test results should be compared against the 90 day test limits. You should use the
24 hour test limits only for verification within 24 hours after performing the calibration adjustment pro-
cedure.
If a Fluke 5725A Calibrator is not available, current verification can be limited to 2A. This will limit the
span of verification on the 10A ranges to only 2A.
If the instrument fails performance verification, calibration adjustment or repair is required.
To reset the date used to determine the specifications versus time, a calibration with adjustment is
required.
The allowable errors for verification are the published specifications (see the instrument data sheet at
www.keysight.com/find/truevolt-doc). The periods in the published specifications are since the last full
calibration adjustment.
Recommended Test Equipment
The recommended test equipment for the performance verification and calibration is listed below. If the
exact instrument is not available, substitute calibration standards of equivalent accuracy.
An alternate method is to use the Keysight 3458A 8½-digit Digital Multimeter to measure less accurate,
yet stable, sources. The output value measured from the source can be entered into the instrument as the
target calibration value.
