Verifying System Functionality

To choose a verification process

System functionality can be verified using several different processes,
depending on the level (system or subsystem) of functional verification
required and the available tools.

The procedure provided in

“Performing the System Functional Verification

Test"

on page 95 verifies that all of the system instruments interface

correctly, and that the system can make software- driven measurements
using a controller running the IC- CAP software.

Manual functional verification procedures for DC, RF, CV, and 1/f noise
subsystem components can be found in:

Appendix B

, “DC Subsystem Functional Verification Test,”

starting on page 119

Appendix C

, “RF Subsystem Functional Verification Test,”

starting on page 123

Appendix D

, “CV Subsystem Functional Verification Test,” starting on

page 129

Appendix E

, “1/f Noise Subsystem Functional Verification Test,” starting

on page 133

Follow these steps to choose a system functional verification process based
upon your current situation.

N O T E

These tests do NOT verify that the system instrumentation conform to their individual
performance specifications.

To verify the performance of the individual system components, complete the appropriate
performance tests listed in their individual product documentation.

Note

1 If the system has recently

been installed or one of
the DC or RF subsystem
instruments has been
replaced, and you have
IC-CAP software...

Complete the steps listed in

“Performing the

System Functional Verification Test"

on

page 95.

Completion of the System Functional
Verification Test is required after
system installation, or whenever an RF
or DC subsystem component has been
serviced or replaced.

The System Functional Verification Test
verifies the functionality of instruments
in the RF and DC subsystems. To verify
the functionality of other system
components, continue to the
appropriate situation listed in this
table.
