Optimal test conditions
All procedures should comply with the following conditions for optimum performance:
Assure that the calibration ambient temperature is stable and between 21 °C and 25 °C
(23 °C ±2 °C).
•
Assure ambient relative humidity is less than 80 %.
•
Allow a 1-hour warm-up period before verification or adjustment.
•
The measurement cable length needs to be as short as possible and consistent with the
impedance requirements.
•
Only use a 50
Ω cable.
