Manual Performance Tests
This chapter contains procedures which test the electrical performance of the
Agilent 8702D. If you are using an Agilent 8702D Option 011, perform the
tests in Chapter 6, “Performance Tests – Option 011”. Before starting these
procedures, allow the instrument to warm up for one hour.
Each procedure has a “Performance Test Record” that is located at the end of
this chapter.
To obtain the same quality of performance testing that Agilent Technologies
has administered at the factory, you must perform:
•the system verification procedures in Chapter 2, “Automated Verification” or
Chapter 3, “Manual Verification”.
•all of the performance test procedures in this chapter.
This quality of performance testing guarantees that the analyzer is performing
within all of the published specifications. Agilent Technologies will issue a
Certificate of Calibration for your analyzer if two conditions are met.
1Your analyzer passes all the performed tests.
2The equipment and standards that you used to perform the tests are traceable
to a national standards institute.
NOTE
If you have a particular type of measurement application that does not use all of the ana-
lyzer’s measurement capabilities, you may ask your nearest Agilent Technologies Service
Office for a subset of specifications that you want verified. However, this does create a
potential for making incorrect measurements, by using a different application than what
was specified.
