D D P erformance T ests Introduction The procedures in this section test the performance of the instrument. The complete specications to which the HP 81531A is tested are given in Appendix C. All tests can be performed without access to the interior of the instrument. The test equipment given corresponds to tests carried out with Diamond HMS-10/HP conectors . Equipment Required Equipment required for the performance test is listed in the table below . Any equipment which satises the critical s

D T est Record Results of the performance test may be tabulated on the T est Record provided at the end of the test procedures . It si recommended that you ll out the T est Record and refer to it while doing the test. Since the test limits and setup information are printed on the T est Record for easy reference , the record can also be used as an abbreviated test procedure (if you are already familiar with the test procedures). The T est Record can also be used as a permanent record and may be
