b. Parameter information.
Table I does not identify the parameters
that apply during each test.
Parameter information for each circuit is
obtained from the TSO in the circuit history file.
Results of the tests
performed are entered on the Circuit Parameter Test Report (DD Form 1697)
illustrated in figure 3-3.
One copy is routinely filed in the circuit
history file.
When a circuit is activated or reengineered to another
parameter, a second copy is forwarded to the DCA control office.
c. Test description identifiers.
An identifying number that cross-
references to the specific tests performed under selected parameters is
entered in the first column of DD Form 1697. A list of these numbers and
tests appears in table II. Each number includes an identifier (TD) followed
by a sequential number, followed in turn by a service indicator.
Example 1:
TD 2 NB

Test description identifier

Example 2:

d. Inspections. A part of quality control is a far-ranging inspection
activity wherein all aspects of station operation are investigated.
An
important part of the inspection is a minute examination of the station
papers, with emphasis on completeness of files and the DCA technical
library.
