Introduction; Verification Of Specifications - HP 8566B Adjustment Manual

The procedures in this section test the instrument's electrical
performance using the Specifications in the Installation and
Verification Manual as the performance standards. None of the
tests require access to the interior of the instrument. The manual
Performance Tests provided in this section should be performed only
if semi-automatic test equipment (for Operation Verification) is not
available or the Performance Test is not in the Operation Verification
Program. (Refer to the Installation and Verification Manual for
information on Operation Verification.)
When a complete verification of specifications is required, proceed as
follows:
1. Run the Operation Verification Program.
2. The Operation Verification Program verifies compliance with
specifications of all tests it performs. The tests not performed by
the Operation Verification Program must be done manually and are
as follows:
Sweep Time Accuracy (including Fast Sweep Time Accuracy)
n
Noise Sidebands
n
Harmonic and Intermodulation Distortion
n
Image, Multiple, and Out-of-Band Responses
n
Frequency Reference Error
n
Center Frequency Readout Accuracy
n
If the results of a performance test are marginally within
specification, go to the Adjustments section of this manual and
perform the related adjustments procedures. When an adjustment is
directly related to a performance test, the adjustment procedure is
referenced under RELATED ADJUSTMENT in the performance test.
