Testing Performance
This chapter tells you how to test the performance of the logic analyzer against the
specifications listed in chapter 1. To ensure the logic analyzer is operating as
specified, software tests (self-tests) and manual performance tests are done on the
modules. The logic analyzer is considered performance-verified if all of the software
tests and manual performance tests have passed. The procedures in this chapter
indicate what constitutes a "Pass" status for each of the tests.
Test Strategy
For a complete test, start at the beginning with the software tests and continue
through to the end of the chapter. For an individual test, follow the procedure in the
test.
One-card module
To perform a complete test on a one-card module, start at the beginning of the
chapter and follow each procedure.
Multicard module
To perform a complete test on a multicard module, perform the software tests with
the cards connected. Then, remove the multicard module from the mainframe and
configure each card as a one-card module. Install the one-card modules into the
mainframe and perform the one-card manual performance tests on each card. When
the tests are complete, remove the one-card modules, reconfigure them into a
multicard module, reinstall the module into the mainframe, then perform the final
multi-card test. For removal instructions, see chapter 6, "Replacing Assemblies." For
installation and configuration instructions, see chapter 2, "Preparing for Use."
Test Interval
Test the performance of the module against specifications at two-year intervals.
Test Record Description
A performance test record for recording the results of each procedure is located at
the end of this chapter. Use the performance test record to gauge the performance
of the module over time.
Test Equipment
Each procedure lists the recommended test equipment. You can use equipment that
satisfies the specifications given. However, the procedures are based on using the
recommended model or part number.
Instrument Warm-Up
Before testing the performance of the module, warm-up the instrument and the test
equipment for 30 minutes.
