Keysight N2797A

User’s Guide

5 Performance Verification

Test 1. DC Input Resistance

Test 2. Bandwidth

Performance Test Record

These procedures are used to test the warranted specifications for the N2797A. The

recommended calibration test interval is once a year or as required. Use the equipment

CAUTION

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can quickly and imperceptibly damage or destroy high performance
probes, resulting in costly repairs. Always wear a wrist strap when handling probe components and
insure that cables are discharged before being connected.
