Appendix B Verification and Calibration 
94  Series N5700 User’s Guide 
Verification 
Verification procedures verify that the power supply is operating 
normally and is within published specifications. There are two types 
of verification tests: 
Performance  These tests verify that the power supply meets all of the specifications listed 
in Appendix A. They can also be used to verify that the power supply is 
properly calibrated. 
Calibration  These procedures calibrate the power supply. 
If the power supply fails any of the tests or if abnormal test results 
are obtained, try calibrating the unit. If calibration is unsuccessful, 
return the unit to an Agilent Technologies repair facility (see 
Appendix D). 
Equipment Required 
The equipment listed in the following table, or the equivalent to this 
equipment, is required for the calibration and performance tests. A 
test record sheet may be found at the back of this section.
