Performance Verification Tests
Use the Performance Verification Tests to verify the
measurement performance of the instrument. The
performance verification tests use the instrument’s
specifications listed in the U1251A/U1252A Data Sheet.
The performance verification tests are recommended as
acceptance tests when you first receive the instrument. The
acceptance test results should be compared against the one
year test limits. After acceptance, you should repeat the
performance verification tests at every calibration interval.
Perform the verification test steps in the following Table 6- 2
NOTE
Make sure you have read the “Test Considerations” on page 118 before
doing the performance verification tests.
