Performance Test Procedures

Description

Each performance test procedure is contained in a single paragraph. The first entry in each paragraph is the specification for the parameter being measured as described in Table 1-1This is followed by a general description of the test and any special instructions or problem areas. Appropriate test setup illustrations are included in this section and are referenced in the procedures. You MUST do the tests, and the steps within each test, in the order they are given.
