HP 8568B Note, Test Record, Equipment Required

Equipment Required Equipment required for the manual performance tests and adjustments is listed in ‘Ihble 2-1, Recommended Test Equipment, at the beginning of this manual. Any equipment that satisfies the critical specifications given in the list may be substituted for the recommended model.

Test Record The Operation Verification Program provides a detailed test record when a printer is used with the controller. If manual performance tests are done, results of the performance tests may be tabulated in the HP 8568B Performance Test Record at the end of this section. The HP 8568B Performance Test Record lists all of the tested specifications and the acceptable ranges for the measurement values obtained during the tests.

Note Allow l/2-hour warm-up time for the HP 8568B before beginning the Performance Tests.
