This section describes performance test procedures.
Performance Test Interval
The procedures in this section may be performed for incoming inspection and should
be performed periodically to verify that the oscilloscope is operating within specification.
The recommended test interval is once per year or after 2000 hours of operation.
Performance should also be tested after repairs or major upgrades.
Performance Test Record
A test record form is provided at the end of this section. This record lists performance
tests and test limits, and provides space to record test results.
Test Order
The tests in this section may be performed in any order. However, it is recommended
to conduct the tests in the order presented in this manual as this represents an
incremental approach to performance verification. This may be useful if you are
attempting to troubleshoot a suspected problem.
Test Equipment
Lists of equipment needed to conduct each test are provided for each test procedure.
The procedures are written to minimize the number and types of oscilloscopes and
accessories required. The oscilloscopes in these lists are ones that are currently available
for sale by Agilent at the time of writing this document. In some cases, the test
procedures use features specific to the oscilloscopes in the recommended equipment
list. However, the oscilloscopes, cables, and accessories that satisfy the critical
specifications in these lists may be substituted for the recommended models with some
modification to the test procedures.
Contact Agilent Technologies for more information about the Agilent products in these
lists.
