Performance Verification Tests

The performance verification tests use the power supply’s specifications listed in

chapter 1, ‘‘Specifications’’, starting on page 13.

You can perform two different levels of performance verification tests:

• Self-Test A series of internal verification tests that provide high confidence that

the power supply is operational.

• Performance Verification Tests These tests are used to verify that the power

supply is operating as specified in the performance specifications.

Self-Test

A power-on self-test occurs automatically when you turn on the power supply. This

limited test assures you that the power supply is operational.

The complete self-test is enabled by holding down key (actually any front panel

keys except key) as you turn on the power supply and hold down the key until

you hear a long beep. The self-test will begin when you release the key following the

beep. The complete self-test takes approximately two seconds to execute.

You can also perform a self-test from the remote interface (see chapter 3 in the Agilent

E3633A and E3634A User’s Guide).

• If the self-test is successful, ‘‘PASS’’ is displayed on the front panel.

• If the self-test fails, ‘‘FAIL’’ is displayed and the ERROR annunciator turns on.

If repair is required, see chapter 5, ‘‘Service’’, for further details.

• If self-test passes, you have a high confidence that the power supply is operational.

Performance Verification Tests

These tests should be used to verify the power supply’s specifications following

repairs to specific circuits. The following sections explain all verification procedures

in detail. All of the performance test limits are shown in each test.
