Performance Tests
Introduction
The performance tests described in this section are designed to verify with a high degree
of confidence that the unit is performing correctly.
The results of each test may be recorded on the test sheet at the end of this section.
Serial Number and Firmware Revision
If you need to contact Stanford Research Systems, please have the serial number of your
unit available. The 6-digit serial number is printed on a label affixed to the rear panel.
Press and hold [Local] and then [Auto Range] at the same time to display the unit serial
number and version numbers. The [Screen Layout] key exits this screen.
Preset
Throughout this section, it will be necessary to preset the lock-in into a known default
state. To do this, press [Save Recall], then touch {Recall default}. Touch {Confirm} to
reset the SR865A to its default settings. Each test generally starts with a preset. This
procedure will be referred to as {PRESET}.

location. This verifies the touch functionality.
Press each key to toggle its position (green/gray) on the screen. Keys with a second press
and hold function need to be held to toggle. The knobs also have a press and hold feature.
Check to see that all keys and knobs function.
The [Screen Layout] key exits this screen.
