Performance Tests
Introduction
Introduction
The performance tests for Agilent E5061A/E5062A make up the VBA performance test
software program. The software is included in the E5061A/E5062A Opt.0BW(add service
guide), it can not be ordered separately. This chapter shows how to run the software and
describes a brief test procedure to test the performance of the E5061A/E5062A. The
performance test names are listed in Table 2-1.
NOTE Allow the analyzer to warm up for at least 30 minutes before you execute any of the
performance tests.
Perform all performance tests in an ambient temperature of 23  5 C
NOTE The performance tests should be performed periodically. The recommended test interval is
12 months.
The test interval depends on maintenance of use and the environmental conditions under
which the instrument is used. You may find that the interval could be shortened or
lengthened; however, such a decision should be based on substantial quantitative data.
Test Equipment Required
The required equipment for the performance test is listed on Table 1-1and Table 1-2. Use
only calibrated equipment when doing the performance test.
