Closed-Case Electronic Calibration The instrument features closed-case
electronic calibration. No internal mechanical adjustments are required.
The instrument calculates correction factors based upon the input
reference value you set. The new correction factors are stored in non-
volatile memory until the next calibration adjustment is performed. Non-
volatile EEPROM calibration memory does not change when power has
been off or after a remote interface reset.
Agilent Technologies Calibration Services
When your instrument is due for calibration, contact your local
Agilent Technologies Service Center for a low-cost recalibration.
The waveform generator is supported on automated calibration systems
which allow Agilent to provide this service at competitive prices.
Calibration Interval
The instrument should be calibrated on a regular interval determined by
the measurement accuracy requirements of your application. A 1-year
interval is adequate for most applications. Accuracy specifications are
warranted only if adjustment is made at regular calibration intervals.
Accuracy specifications are not warranted beyond the 1-year calibration
interval. Agilent Technologies does not recommend extending calibration
intervals beyond 2 years for any application.
Adjustment is Recommended
Whatever calibration interval you select, Agilent Technologies
recommends that complete re-adjustment should always be performed
at the calibration interval. This will assure that the instrument
will remain within specification for the next calibration interval.
This criteria for re-adjustment provides the best long-term stability.
Performance data measured using this method can be used to extend
future calibration intervals.
Use the Calibration Count (see page 106) to verify that all adjustments
have been performed.
