About the Verification Tests
Three levels of verification tests are described in this chapter:
•
Functional Verification Tests
•
Quick Verification Tests
•
Performance Verification Tests
You should perform the Functional Verification test before either the Quick
Verification or full Performance Verification tests.
Functional
Verification Test
The Functional Verification test provides a high confidence that the module
is operational. A brief self-test is performed when power is first applied to
the module. This test assures that module can communicate with the
mainframe.
The Functional Verification Test performs a more complete self-test using
the SCPI common command *TST?. If this test passes, you have a high
confidence level (90%) that the module is operational.
If the module fails the Functional Verification Test, repair is needed.
Quick Verification
Tests
The Quick Verification Test combines a Functional Verification Test with
an abbreviated set of Performance Tests to give a high confidence level that
the module is operational and meets its specifications. The Quick
Performance Test is the minimum set of tests recommended after any
service activity.
These tests check the module’s performance for normal accuracy and drift
mechanisms. These tests do not check for abnormal component failures.
Quick Verification Tests are designated with the letter “ Q” in the
Performance Verification Tests. To perform the Quick Verification Tests:
1.
Perform a Functional Verification Test.
2.
Perform the Performance Verification Tests designated by the letter
“ Q” in the table beginning on page 46.
If the module fails the Quick Verification Test, adjustment or repair is
needed.
