Verification Test Examples

The three levels of test procedures described in this chapter are used to verify that the E1364A Switch Module:

•is fully functional (Functional Verification)

•meets selected testable specifications (Operation Verification)

•meets all testable specifications (Performance Verification)

See Table 1-1 for test equipment requirements. You should complete the Performance Verification tests at least once a year. For heavy use or severe operating environments, perform the tests more often.

The verification tests assume that the person performing the tests understands how to operate the mainframe, the switch, and specified test equipment. The test procedures do not specify equipment settings for test equipment, except in general terms. It is assumed that a qualified, service-trained technician will select and connect the cables, adapters, and probes required for the test.

The results of each Performance Verification test may be recorded in Table 2-1, "Agilent E1364A Performance Test Record." You may make a copy of this form, if desired.

Each verification test procedure includes an example program that performs the test. All example programs assume the following configuration:

•Controller is an HP 9000 Series 200/300 computer

•Programming language is BASIC

•Switch address is 70915

•Switch card number is 1

•DMM is an 3458A
