Operation Verification A high confidence level in the instrument’s operation can be achieved by running only the Operation Verification Program, since it tests most of the instrument’s specifications. It is recommended that the Operation Verification Program be used for incoming inspection and after repairs, since it requires much less time and test equipment.

A description of the program can be found in the Installation and Verification manual.
