Appendix B
Verification and Calibration
Verification ......................................................................................................... 99
Calibration ........................................................................................................ 128
The verification procedures described in this appendix verify that the
power supply is operating normally and is within published
specifications.
This appendix also includes calibration procedures for the Keysight
N8700 power supplies. Instructions are given for performing the
procedures from a controller over the GPIB.
NOTE
Perform the verification tests before calibrating your power supply. If the power
supply passes the verification tests, the unit is operating within its calibration
limits and does not need to be re-calibrated.
The recommended calibration interval for Keysight N8700 power
supplies is one year.
Verification
Verification procedures are of two types:
Performance
These procedures verify that the power supply is operating normaly and
meets all of the published specifications listed in Appendix A. These tests
also verify the power supply is properly calibrated.
Calibration
These procedures calibrate the power supply and set operation within the
published specifications. Calibration is recommended annually.
If the power supply fails any of the verification tests, perform the
calibration procedures. If calibration is unsuccessful, return the unit
to a Keysight Technologies repair facility (see Appendix D).
