SECTION III
Performance Tests
3-1. Introduction
The procedures in this section test the
oscilloscope module’s electrical performance
using the specifications listed in Section I as the
performance standards. All tests can be
performed without access to the interior of the
instrument. At the end of this section is a form that
can be used as a record of performance test
results.
3-2. Recommended Test Equipment
Equipment recommended for performance tests is
listed in table 1-3. Any equipment that satisfies the
critical specifications given in the table may be
substituted for the recommended models.
3-3. Test Record
Results of performance tests may be tabulated on
the Performance Test Record (table 3-1) at the end
of the procedures. The test record lists all of the
tested specifications and their acceptable limits.
The results recorded on the test record may be
used for comparison in periodic maintenance and
troubleshooting or after repairs and adjustments
have been made.
3-4. Performance Test Interval
Periodic performance verification of the
HP 16532A Oscilloscope Module is required at
one-year intervals. The instrument’s performance
should be verified after it has been serviced, or if
improper operation is suspected. Calibration
should be performed before any performance
verification checks.
3-5. Performance Test Procedures
All performance tests should be performed at the
environmental operating temperature of the
instrument, after a 30-minute warmup period.
