Verification and Performance Tests Overview
Use the verification and performance tests to verify the measurement
performance of the instrument. The verification and performance tests use
the specifications of the instrument listed in Chapter 8, “Characteristics
and Specifications,” starting on page 235.
You can perform three different levels of verification and performance
tests:
Self-test. A series of internal verification tests which give a high
confidence that the instrument is operational.
Performance Verification Tests. An extensive set of tests that are
recommended as an acceptance test when you first receive the instrument
or after performing adjustments.
Additional Verification Tests. Tests are not performed with every
calibration. Perform these tests to verify additional specifications or
functions of the instrument.
