Appendix A — Test Records
A-1
Introduction
This appendix provides tables for recording the results of the performance verification tests. They jointly
provide the means for maintaining an accurate and complete record of instrument performance.
These records contain references to frequency parameters and power levels that are applicable to the
instrument with that option or set of options. When a test record is customized, it is labeled with the specific
option list that it covers. Test records which are not customized do not specify an option list. These test records
are generic and may contain specific references to frequency parameters and power levels that exceed the
operational limits of the instrument being tested. When using generic test records, use only the parameters
that fall within the operational limits of the instrument being tested.

Uncertainty Specifications
All test records are provided with a measurement uncertainty, which consists of the type-B
1
components. The
measurement uncertainty listed in each test record includes the best estimate of the errors contributed by the
measurement, test equipment, standards, and other correction factors. The error contributions are
measurement method, test equipment, standards, and other correction factors (for example, calibration factors
and mismatch error) per the prescribed test procedure. The statement(s) of compliance with specification
2
is
based on a 95% coverage probability for the expanded uncertainty of the measurement results on which the
decision of compliance is based. Other values of coverage probability for the expanded uncertainty may be
reported, where practicable, for some of the measured values it is not possible to make a statement of
compliance with specification.

Adapter, Attenuator and Cable Insertion Loss
In order to achieve the most accurate measurements, the insertion loss of adapters, attenuators and cables
must be added to each measurement for the test records that require it. The process is to add up the insertion
loss of the adapters, attenuators and cables and enter the results in the column labeled “Offset Value”. Then
add this value to the “Measured Value” and enter the result in the “Final Value”. In some cases, the total
insertion loss must be converted from dB into linear %. See the conversion formula below.
Where dB = the value to be converted to percentage

Test Records
We recommend that you make a copy of the test record pages each time a test procedure is performed.
By dating each test record copy, a detailed history of the instrument’s performance can be accumulated.
