Table 2-7, "Performance Test Record for the HP E1340A AFG," is a form
you may copy and use to record performance verification test results for the
AFG. Table 2-7 shows AFG accuracy, measurement uncertainty, and test
accuracy ratio (TAR) values.
Test limits are defined using the specifications in Appendix A of the
HP E1340A User's Manual. The specifications for Total Harmonic
Distortion and Spurious/Non-harmonic Distortion are single-sided
(i.e., there is an upper limit but no lower limit). In the Performance
Test Record, the "Minimum" column will be blank.
For the performance verification tests in this manual, the measurement
uncertainties are based on the accuracy specifications for the following test
equipment:
Performance Test
* Includes following uncertainties: HP 8902A Range linearity, HP 11722A
Power Sensor Cal Factor uncertainty, HP 3458A accuracy at 100 kHz.
Test Accuracy Ratio (TAR) for the HP E1340A is defined as: AFG
Accuracy/Measurement Uncertainty, i.e.,
Maximum − Expected Reading
TAR =
For single-sided measurements, Test Accuracy Ratio is not defined, so
"NA" (Not Applicable) will appear in the TAR column. For TARs that
exceed 10:1, the entry is ">10:1".
