Equipment required for the manual performance tests and
adjustments is listed in 'Ihble 2-1, Recommended Test Equipment,
at the beginning of this manual. Any equipment that satisfies the
critical specifications given in the list may be substituted for the
recommended model.
The Operation Verification Program provides a detailed test record
when a printer is used with the controller. If manual performance
tests are done, results of the performance tests may be tabulated in
the HP 8568B Performance Test Record at the end of this section. The
HP 8568B Performance Test Record lists all of the tested specifications
and the acceptable ranges for the measurement values obtained
during the tests.
Allow l/2-hour warm-up time for the HP 8568B before beginning the
Performance Tests.
