Performance Tests
Introduction
Introduction
The performance of the analyzer is verified by confirming that the analyzer’s output and
input behavior meets the instrument specifications. The instrument specifications are
found in the chapter titled “Specifications and Characteristics” in the analyzer’s reference
guide.
The section on instrument specifications is divided into two parts:
• Source Specifications
• Receiver Specifications
The performance tests documented in this chapter are used to test the analyzer’s
performance against the instrument specifications. If the analyzer passes the performance
tests, it meets the instrument specifications. Following is the list of performance tests.
