Chapter 3

 

Operational Tests

3-1INTRODUCTION

The tests in this section provide a means of fully testing the 373XXA VNA

 

system for proper operation and signal stability. These tests are intended

 

to be used as a periodic check of the operational functionality of the

 

373XXA.

 

The tests should be performed in their entirety at least once annually.

 

Although there is no requirement to do so, the tests should generally

 

be run in the sequence presented.

 

NOTE

 

The procedures presented in Chapter 4, Performance Veri-

 

fication, provide the means to test the accuracy of the tests

 

performed by the 373XXA.

 

Please ensure you have read and fully understand the servicing con-

 

cepts for the 373XXA presented in Chapter 1 prior to continuing with

 

this chapter.

 

Operational Tests for the 373XXA consist of the following:

 

￿ Checking the Service Log

 

￿ Self Test

 

￿ Peripherals and Interface Testing

 

￿ Signal Path Tests (includes Checking the Service Log and Self

 

Test.)

 

These tests are described in paragraphs 3-2 through 3-5, which start

 

on the next page.
