Performance verification procedures

Two types of performance verification procedures can be performed on the instrument: Brief Procedures and Performance Tests. You may not need to perform all of these procedures, depending on what you want to accomplish.

  • To rapidly confirm that the instrument functions and was adjusted properly, perform Diagnostics and Calibration.

Advantages: These procedures are quick to do and require no external equipment or signal sources. These procedures perform extensive functional and accuracy testing to provide high confidence that the instrument will perform properly.

  • To further check functionality, first perform Diagnostics and Calibration, and then perform Functional Test.

Advantages: The procedure requires minimal additional time to perform, and requires minimal equipment. The procedure can be used when the instrument is first received.

  • If more extensive confirmation of performance is desired, complete the self tests and functional test, and then do the Performance Tests.

Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of warranted specifications. These procedures require specific test equipment. (See page 44, Required equipment).

If you are not familiar with operating this instrument, refer to the online help or the user information supplied with the instrument.

Input and output options

The instrument has two USB ports on the front panel, and four USB ports on the rear panel. (See Figure 1). These ports can be used for an external mouse and/or keyboard. Additionally, an external video display can be connected to the VGA display port on the rear panel.
Figure 1. Pheripheral connections


Brief procedures

There are three procedures in this section that provide a quick way to confirm basic functionality and proper adjustment:

  • Diagnostics
  • Calibration
  • Functional test

Diagnostics

The following steps run the internal routines that confirm basic functionality and proper adjustment.

EquipmentPrerequisites

Test record

Photocopy the test records and use them to record the performance test results. (See page 66, Test record).

Termination resistance measurement

Many of the performance tests use a BNC-dual banana adapter and 50 Ω BNC feed-through terminator connected to a DMM.

For accuracy, the termination resistance of this connection is used in the calculations.

Use this procedure and note the measured value for use in these procedures.

  1. Connect the BNC-dual banana adapter and 50 Ω BNC feed-through terminator to the HI and LO inputs of the digital multimeter.
    Figure 1. Equipment connection to measure terminator resistance


  2. Set the digital multimeter to the Ω 2 wires mode.
  3. Measure the resistance and note the value as Term_R.

    Keep this value available for use in several performance check calculations.

  4. Set the digital multimeter to the DCV mode.
    Note:Lead resistance is not included in the measurement results when using four wire ohms. The accuracy is higher especially for small resistances. Use a four wire method if necessary.
