Complete Performance Tests
The complete performance tests verify the specifications listed in
Chapter 7, “HP 53131A/132A Specifications,” and Chapter 8, “HP 53181A
Specifications.” All tests can be performed without accessing the inside of
the instrument.
Optional HP-IB Verification
The HP-IB verification program, described on page 1-40
(HP 53131A/132A) or page 1-70 (HP 53181A), exercises the Counter via
the HP-IB interface. The program is written for an HP 9000 series 200 or
300 Desktop Computer as the controller. If the instrument successfully
completes all phases of the verification program, there is a very high
probability that the HP-IB interface is working properly.
The HP-IB program is available on disks as indicated in the following
listing:
•
For HP 53131A/132A Counters—HP part number 53131-13501
(3 1/2-inch LIF disk) and HP part number 53131-13502 (5 1/4-inch
LIF disk).
•
For HP 53181A Counters—HP part number 53181-13501
(3 1/2-inch LIF disk) and HP part number 53131-13502 (5 1/4-inch
LIF disk).
Recommended Calibration Cycle
The Counter requires periodic verification of operation. Depending on the
use and environmental conditions, aging, and measurement accuracy
required, the Counter should be checked using the operational verification
procedure at least once every year.
Test Record
The results of the operational verification, complete performance tests,
and HP-IB verification test should be recorded on a copy of the
Performance Test Record, located at the end of each (i.e., HP 53131A/132A
and HP 53181A) complete performance tests section in this chapter.
