Use the performance verification tests to verify the measurement performance of the instrument. The performance verification tests use the instrument’s specifications listed in the U8030A Series User’s Guide (available for download at www.keysight.com/find/U8030). The performance verification tests are recommended as acceptance tests when you first receive the instrument.
