The tests can be used for incoming inspection, troubleshooting or
preventative maintenance. Note that to prove that the instrument
is within specification, only the Performance Tests have to be
carried out. The test results can be recorded on a copy of the Test
Records which follow the test procedures. Test results recorded at
incoming inspection can be used for comparison after carrying out
maintenance, repair or adjustments.
The tests must be performed with the HP 8112A in its normal
operating condition, that is, with all shields, connections and the case
in place.
