Appendix A — Test Records
A-1
Introduction
This appendix provides tables for recording the results of the performance verification tests (
) and
the calibration procedures (
). They jointly provide the means for maintaining an accurate and
complete record of instrument performance.
Some test records are customized to cover particular MG3702xA options. These records contain references to
frequency parameters and power levels that are applicable to the instrument with that option or set of options.
When a test record is customized, it is labeled with the specific option list that it covers. Test records which are
not customized do not specify an option list. These test records are generic and may contain specific references
to frequency parameters and power levels that exceed the operational limits of the instrument being tested.
When using generic test records, use only the parameters that fall within the operational limits of the
instrument being tested.
A-2
Uncertainty Specifications
All test records are provided with a measurement uncertainty, which consists of the type-B
1
components. The
error contributions are measurement method, test equipment, standards, and other correction factors (for
example, calibration factors and mismatch error) per the prescribed test procedure. The statement(s) of
compliance with specification
2
is based on a 95% coverage probability for the expanded uncertainty of the
measurement results on which the decision of compliance is based. For some of the measured values it is not
possible to make a statement of compliance with specification
. Other values of coverage probability for the
expanded uncertainty may be reported, where practicable.

Test Records
We recommend that you make a copy of the test record pages each time a test procedure is performed.
By dating each test record copy, a detailed history of the instrument’s performance can be accumulated.
