Specifications and Performance Verification
Overview

Required Equipment
The following items are required to verify the performance of your pulsed-RF system. For PC
requirements, please refer to your 8510C service manual.
Verifying Non-Standard Systems
To verify systems that contain instruments additional to the standard system (network analyzer,
two sources and the 85110L test set), disconnect all additional instruments from the system,
configure the system as a pulsed-RF system (see Figure 2-1 on page 2-4), and then continue with
this procedure.
Your verification may not be valid if any of your system instruments are equipped with a “special”
option (usually denoted by an “H”, “E”, or “S”, on the serial number label). Refer to your special
system documentation for additional information regarding performance verification.
Recommended Performance Verification Cycle
The recommended performance verification cycle for the 85108L system is once a year, initially, and
after the system is repaired. You can vary the cycle time of once a year depending on the results of
your performance verification. Additionally, an operation verification (frequency tests) is required
every year (or after repair) on all 8360 series and 8340 series sources. Refer to the 8510C On-Site
Service Manual for the procedure.
Generating System Specifications
Specifications for the pulsed-RF system are generated using the 8510 Specification and
Performance Verification Software, which is supplied with your system. To generate specifications
for your system, continue with the performance verification procedure and, at the designated time,
select
[SYSTEM SPECS].
Table 4-1, “General Characteristics,” on page 4-10 lists the general characteristics of the 85108L
pulsed-RF system. General characteristics are typical, non-warranted values.
