Calibration Cycle
The 41800A requires periodic performance verification. The 41800A should be
checked out using the performance test at least once a year or more
depending on its frequency of use. Preventive maintenance should be
performed at least twice a year to keep down-time to a minimum, and to insure
optimum operation.
Preparation
This paragraph provides the information which you should know and the steps
that you should perform before starting the performance test.
1. The test equipment must be allowed to warm-up and stabilize for at least
30 minutes.
