PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION.
Performance
Verification
should
be performed
by qualified
personnel
using
accurate
and reliable
test
equipment
as given
in Table
6-l.
Use the
following
procedures
to verify
basic
operation
and accuracy
of
the
instrument.
All
measurements
should
be made at
an ambient
temperature
within
the
range
of
20°C
to 3O'C
and with
a relative
humidity
of
less
than
80%.
If
the
instrument
is out
of
specification
at any
point,
perform
a complete
calibration
as given
in Paragraph
6-4.
If
the
instru-
ment
is
"IN
WARRANTY",
contact
your
Keithley
representative
or
the
factory.
NOTE
This
procedure
is
intended
to verify
only
the
basic
accuracy
of
the
Node1
l72A/
l73A
in voltage,
current,
and resistance
modes.
Test
equipment
accuracy
should
be X5 better
than
the
measurement
accuracy.
In many cases
the
equipment
listed
in Table
6-l
is not
X5 better,
because
such
equipment
is
not
readily
available.

For
this
reason,
the
expected
error
contribution
of
the
listed
test
equipment
is
