3Operation Verification

Operation verification is a series of tests that, when completed, will either ensure that the signal generator is operating correctly, or will assist in pointing to the problem area. Operation verification does not ensure performance to specifications, but should provide a level of confidence that the signal generator is operating correctly within a minimum amount of time.

Operation verification is appropriate for incoming inspection after repair (when a full calibrated performance is not required), or whenever the integrity of the signal generator is in question. Individual tests may be performed in any order, however, the order of the list below is recommended.

Perform the following tests for operation verification:

1.“Performing a Self-Test” on page 20

2.“Checking the Maximum Leveled Power” on page 22

3.“Checking the Output Power” on page 25

NOTE

Throughout this section, all references to pressing the Preset hardkey assume that the preset

 

state is set to normal (factory-defined preset state).

 

To ensure that the preset state is set to normal, press Utility > Power On/Preset > Preset Normal

 

User until Normal is highlighted.
