Performance Tksts

Introduction

The procedures in this section test the instrument’s electrical performance using the Specifications in the Installation and Verification Manual as the performance standards. None of the tests require access to the interior of the instrument. The manual Performance Tests provided in this section should be performed only if semi-automatic test equipment (for Operation Verification) is not available or the Performance Test is not in the Operation Verification Program. (Refer to the Installation and Verification Manual for information on Operation Verification.)

Verification of Specifications

When a complete verification of specifications is required, proceed as follows:

1.Run the Operation Verification Program.

2.The Operation Verification Program verifies compliance with specifications of all tests it performs. The tests not performed by the Operation Verification Program must be done manually and are as follows:

nCenter Frequency Readout Accuracy

nSpurious Responses

H Fast Sweep Time Accuracy

n1st LO Output Amplitude Responses

nFrequency Reference Error

If the results of a performance test are marginally within specification, go to the Adjustments section of this manual and perform the related adjustment procedures. When an adjustment is directly related to a performance test, the adjustment procedure is referenced under RELATED ADJUSTMENT in the performance test.

Calibration Cycle This instrument requires periodic verification of performance. The instrument should have a complete verification of specifications at least every six months.
