Chapter 2
Verification Tests
Introduction
The three levels of test procedures described in this chapter are used to
verify that the E1364A Switch Module:
•
is fully functional (Functional Verification)
•
meets selected testable specifications (Operation Verification)
•
meets all testable specifications (Performance Verification)
Test Conditions
and Procedures
See Table 1-1 for test equipment requirements. You should complete the
Performance Verification tests at least once a year. For heavy use or severe
operating environments, perform the tests more often.
The verification tests assume that the person performing the tests
understands how to operate the mainframe, the switch, and specified test
equipment. The test procedures do not specify equipment settings for test
equipment, except in general terms. It is assumed that a qualified,
service-trained technician will select and connect the cables, adapters, and
probes required for the test.
Performance Test
Record
The results of each Performance Verification test may be recorded in
Table 2-1, "Agilent E1364A Performance Test Record." You may make a
copy of this form, if desired.
Verification Test
Examples
Each verification test procedure includes an example program that performs
the test. All example programs assume the following configuration:
•
Controller is an HP 9000 Series 200/300 computer
•
Programming language is BASIC
•
Switch address is 70915
•
Switch card number is 1
•
DMM is an 3458A
