Datasheets
Datasheets are included after each performance verification test. Record all test data on the datasheets.
9.2.3
Test Equipment
Table 60 below lists the required test equipment for all of the procedures in this chapter. Specific equipment required
for each procedure is listed at the beginning of each procedure. An assortment of coaxial cables for interconnecting the
equipment is needed as well.
Equivalent test equipment can be substituted for the recommended models, provided that the accuracies and
specifications are equal to or better than those of the recommended models.
