Summary Verification
Functional verification procedures verify the basic functionality of the instru-
ment inputs, outputs, and basic instrument actions. These procedures include
power-on diagnostics, extended diagnostics, and manual check procedures.
These procedures can be used for incoming inspection purposes.
Certification procedures certify the accuracy of an instrument and provide a
traceability path to national standards. Calibration data reports are produced for
the logic analyzers as output from the performance verification and adjustment
software.
Performance verification procedures confirm that a product meets or exceeds the
performance requirements for the published specifications. Refer to Figure 4--1
on page 4--2 for a graphic overview of the procedures.
Adjustment procedures check for, and if necessary, correct any adjustment errors
discovered when performing functional or performance verification procedures.
The adjustment procedures for the logic analyzers are controlled by software but
some of the adjustment procedures require manual intervention to move probes
or to change test equipment settings.
The performance verification and adjustment software is provided on the product
CD-ROM.
