Performance Tests
Introduction
3 Performance Tests
Introduction
The procedures given in this Section, test the HP 37717C electrical performance
using the Specifications listed in Section 1, General Information, as performance
standards. Each test is self contained and, therefore, may be performed as a stand-
alone test or as part of full instrument calibration.
Equipment Required
Equipment required for the Performance Tests is listed in Chapter 1, General
Information. Any equipment which meets or exceeds the critical specification of the
equipment listed, may be substituted.
Extra Modules Required
Some of the Performance Tests require additional modules to be present in the
instrument under test. Before starting Performance Tests, refer to Appendix B to
decide if you need to fit any extra modules.
Performance Test Record
The results of the Performance Tests may be recorded on the Performance Test
Record at the end of this Section. The Performance Test Record lists all the tested
specifications and the acceptable limits. The results recorded at incoming inspection
may be used for comparison during periodic maintenance, troubleshooting or after
repair or adjustment.
Calibration Cycle
This instrument requires periodic verification of performance. Depending on use
and environmental conditions, the instrument should be checked approximately
once a year, using these Performance Tests.
