Calibration Testing Procedures
Calibration Testing Procedures
The calibration procedures in this section are used to determine if the 54701A
meets the designated warranted specifications.
Testing Interval
The calibration test procedures may be performed for incoming inspection of
the instrument and should be performed periodically thereafter to ensure and
maintain peak performance. The recommended test interval is yearly or every
2,000 hours of operation. Amount of use, environmental conditions, and the
user's experience concerning need for testing will contribute to verification
requirements.
The calibration cycle is covered in the "Making Adjustments" section in this
chapter.
Equipment Required
A complete list of equipment required for the calibration tests is in the
Recommended Test Equipment table on page 41. Equipment required for
individual tests is listed in the test. Any equipment satisfying the critical
specifications listed may be substituted for the recommended model.
Test Record
The results of the calibration tests may be tabulated on the Test Record
provided at the end of this section on page 50. The Test Record lists the
calibration tests and provides an area to mark test results. The results
recorded in the table at incoming inspection may be used for later
comparisons of the tests during periodic maintenance, troubleshooting, and
after repairs or adjustments.
