Reviewing the calibration As for all test instruments, the 9102 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer’s
accuracy should be checked against its specifications. This process is
called calibration. If the 9102 accuracy falls outside the specified toler-
ance, it may be necessary to correct the instrument.
Aeroflex recommends a calibration interval of one year. The 9102
stores the date of the last calibration by a Aeroflex-certified lab and the
date when the next calibration is due. In addition, you can document
when the calibration date has been reviewed last.
To check if the 9102 is due for calibration, proceed as follows:
Press the M
ODE function key followed by the Calibration Information
softkey.
The Calibration Information menu appears.
