SECTION 7

PERFORMANCE TEST

7.1 Performance Test Required

The performance test is performed as the preventive maintenance to prevent the MG3641A/MG3642A performance

from reducing.

The performance test is required when performance must be confirmed after the MG3641A/MG3642A acceptance

test, periodical inspection, or repair. For important items, it should periodically be performed as the preventive

maintenance.

If an item that does not satisfy the standard by the performance test is detected, contact the Anritsu service division.
