Performance Tests
his chapter is divided into three parts:
the system speci cations summary,
performing the operator's check, and
instructions for using the analyzer performance test software.
he operator's check can be used as a quick 80% con dence test. he only equipment required
for this check is a type-N cable and a good quality 50
type-N load (75
for the HP 8730A or
Option 1EC analyzers).
he performance tests will verify that the analyzer meets its published speci cation with
greater than a 95% con dence level. he performance tests are completely automated. he
performance test software is written for an HP 9000 Series 200, 300, or 700 computer (or
equivalent), HP BASIC 5.1 or greater. However, it will also run on a PC system with an HP
BASIC language processor card (HP 82324B or equivalent). here are no manual tests provided,
nor are any test record cards provided.
Note
If you would like to order the analyzer performance test software (p/n
08712-10017), contact your nearest Hewlett-Packard sales or service oce. See
able 9-1 in the \Safety, Warranty, and Assistance" chapter.
Note
here is also a version of this program that will run on a PC without an HP
BASIC language processor card (see Chapter 7, \Parts List"). his program
requires the use of HP BASIC for Windows
and an HP-IB interface card. Operation is essentially identical to that described
for an HP workstation computer.
Results of the automated performance tests can be printed out at any time. hey include all
speci cations, limits, and uncertainties. Although no manual test is provided, each test is
described in enough detail below to allow a knowledgeable technician to perform all needed
tests in an accurate manner.
