  • Page 31: Performance Test Record

    Test Limits Test limits are defined for closed-channel contact resistance and DC isolation using the specifications in Appendix A of the Keysight E1442A User’s Manual. The closed-channel resistance and DC isolation specifications are single-sided, (i.e., there is an upper limit or a lower limit, but not both). In the Performance Test Record, either the Minimum or Maximum column will be blank.

  • Page 32: Test Accuracy Ratio (Tar)

    Test Accuracy Ratios are not defined for single-sided measurements, so all closed-channel resistance and DC isolation measurements have ’NA’ (Not Applicable) in the TAR column. Table 2-3.
