Performance Tests - Wavetek 3000 Instruction Manual

4 .1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the performance tests in
the following paragraphs is to verify
that the Model 3000 Signal Generator
meets its published specifications (par-
agraph 1 .2) . Individual performance
tests consist of : the specification to
be verified, the method of testing, a
list of equipment required and a detailed
test procedure including in some cases
a simplified setup drawing .
Critical specifications for each item
of test equipment are listed in Table
4-1 of Recommended Test Equipment . Ex-
cept as detailed settings of test equip-
ment apply to performance test procedures,
all other test equipment operating de-
tails are omitted .
The Signal Generator should have
its
top and bottom covers installed for the
performance tests . All of the tests

FOR MODEL 3000 PERFORMANCE TESTS
SECTION

PERFORMANCE TESTS
can be performed without access to the
internal controls . Before applying
power to the Signal Generator see Sec-
tion 2 for details of electrical instal-
lation . The line voltage should be
maintained at 115 or 230 volts ±10%, 50
or 60 Hz throughout
the tests . The
performance test procedures are begun
after a two-hour minimum warmup of the
Signal Generator in a +20 to +30 0 C
ambient temperature range .
A copy of the
Performance Test record
(PTR) is provided at the end of this
section for convenience in recording
the performance of the Model 3000 during
performance tests . It can be filled
out and used as a permanent record for
incoming inspection or it can be used
as a guide for routine performance test
ing . The PTR lists the paragraph, test,
basic control settings and limits . All
of the tests refer to this test record .
