Introduction
This chapter provides test procedures for checking the operation of an Agilent Model 6814B/6834B AC Power
Source/Analyzer or Agilent Model 6843A RTS. The required test equipment is specified and sample performance test
record sheets are included. Instructions are given for performing the tests using the front panel keypad.
Test Equipment Required
Table 2-1 lists the equipment required to perform the verification tests given in this chapter.

* The 30:1 ratio transformer is not required for a valid MIL-STD 45662A test. The 30:1 ratio transformer is only required when a 4:1
test equipment to specification ratio is desired using a 3458A voltmeter in the 1000 volt range.
General Measurement Techniques
The following chapters provide the test procedures for verifying the Agilent 6814B, 6834B or 6843A's compliance with the
specifications listed in Appendix A of the Users Guide. Please refer to CALIBRATION PROCEDURE or
TROUBLESHOOTING if you observe out-of specification performance. The performance test specifications are listed in
the Performance Test Record Card at the end of this chapter. You can record the actual measured values in the columns
