MIL-PRF-38793C
parameter be accurate to 8% (maximum permitted error), and the known accuracy (maximum
known error) of the measuring device used to measure the output parameter is 2%, then the TAR
is 4 (see 3.2.3.2).
6.4.6 Test and measurement equipment. Test and measurement equipment are those devices
which are used to measure or evaluate the characteristics of materiel or natural phenomena.
6.4.7 Test instrument. A test instrument is the item of equipment to be calibrated (see 3.1.2).
6.4.8 Verification. (F) Verification (section 4), in the context of this specification, equates to
the contractor's quality assurance program for validating the content of the manuals.
a. Actual performance. Using production configured equipment, hands-on performance
of the procedure using the technical instructions as written.
b. Simulation. Using production configured equipment and the manual procedures,
simulate the actions required by the task steps.
c. Table top analysis. Primarily for nonprocedural data, compare the technical content
to source data to ensure the technical accuracy and depth of coverage.
6.4.9 Similar test instruments. Similar test instruments are considered as those having similar
characteristics, controls, displays, and performance limits to the degree which allows
combination of calibration instructions without undue complications (see 3.1).
6.4.10 Text development. Division of procedures into discrete steps comprising one or more
closely related operations contributes to ease of understanding. Short sentences and steps enable
the operator to remember the entire operation (see 3.1.2.1).
6.4.11 Calibration requirements documents. Calibration requirements documents are joint
service approved technical manuals which describe the test parameters that are necessary and
proper for the calibration of a generic class of instruments (see 3.2.2.2.1). The following list of
technical manuals are calibration requirements documents that provide necessary information to
the Air Force, Army, and Navy concerning equipment calibration.
