Performance Tests

The Performance Tests section contains the procedures used to make sure the Calibrator
performs to specifications. There are sections for each of the two Calibrator options:
5080A/MEG and 5080A/SC.

Required Test Equipment

Table 5 is a list of the test equipment necessary to perform Verification and Calibration
of the main Calibrator functions.

How to Verify the Main Calibrator

Use Tables 6 through 16 to make sure the 5080A operates to its specifications. The tables
are for approved metrology personnel who have access to a standards laboratory that has
equipment that can test calibration equipment of this level of accuracy. The tables show
the recommended test points and the upper and lower limits for each point. The limits
calculation is the 90-day specification added to or subtract from the output value. There is
no built-in factor for measurement uncertainty.
