Performance Tests Overview

The performance verification tests are designed to provide the highest level of confidence that the instrument being tested conforms to the published, factory-set specifications. The tests are designed to test an instrument operating within the temperature range defined by the instrument specifications. Some repairs require a performance test to be run after the repairs. If the instrument is unable to pass any of the performance tests, adjustments or further repairs are needed.

Important: Some of the performance tests require actual power sensor and power splitter calibration data to obtain valid results. Please refer to the Enter Equipment Calibration Data section in the TME Help for details on how to enter this data.
