Verification and Performance Tests

This chapter contains test procedures to check the operation of the Agilent 6610xA Power Modules. The required test equipment is specified in Chapter 1. Sample performance test record sheets are included at the end of the chapter. Instructions are given for performing the tests either from a GPIB controller or the MPS keyboard. Two types of procedures are provided: Operation Verification tests and Performance tests.

If you encounter failures or out-of-specification test results, see "Troubleshooting Procedures" in Chapter 3 of this manual. Those procedures will determine if repair and/or calibration is required.

SHOCK HAZARD The tests should only be performed by qualified personnel. During the performance of these tests, hazardous voltages may be present at the output of the module.

Operation Verification Tests

To assure that the module is operating properly, without testing all specified parameters, perform the following test procedures:

1.Perform the turn-on and checkout procedures given in Chapter 3 of the Power Module User’s Guide.

2.Perform the Voltage Programming/Readback Accuracy and the Current Programming/Readback Accuracy Performance Tests in this chapter.

Performance Tests

The following paragraphs provide test procedures for verifying the module’s compliance with the specifications listed in Table 1-1 of the Power Module User’s Guide. All of the performance test specifications are listed in the Performance Test Records at the end of this chapter. You can record the actual measured values in the column provided.
