Performance Verification Tests
The performance verification tests are recommended as acceptance tests when you first receive the instrument. The
acceptance test results should be compared against the one year test limits the specifications on the instrument
datasheet. After acceptance, you should repeat the performance verification tests at every calibration interval.
If the instrument fails performance verification, adjustment or repair is required.
Adjustment is recommended at every calibration interval. If adjustment is not made, you must establish a ‘guard
band’, using no more than 80% of the specifications, as the verification limits.
Ensure that you have read
before running the performance verification tests.
Internal timebase verification
These tests verify output frequency accuracy. All output frequencies are derived from a single generated frequency.
1. Connect the frequency counter to the channel 1 output as shown below (the frequency counter input should be
terminated at 50 Ω).

2. Set the instrument to the output described in the table below and measure the output frequency. Be sure the
instrument output is enabled.
