Pre-trial verification of test devices and instrumentation

Experience/Advice

Before executing a test series, it is recommended to carefully check the used test devices (dummies) and the instruments connected to them in order to verify they work according to the specifications. Failing to do so may result in inconsistent test results and the need to eliminate complete test series.
