then perform Functional Test beginning on page 2-5.
Advantages: The procedure requires minimal additional time to perform,
and requires minimal equipment. The procedure can be used when the
instrument is first received.

tests and functional test, and then do the Performance Tests beginning on
page 2-9.
Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of warranted specifica-
tions. These procedures require suitable test equipment and more time to
execute (refer to Equipment Required on page 2-9).
