INTRODUCTION
1-2.
The microprocessor controlled 5100 Series
Calibrator outputs are programmable from the front
panel or through an optional remote interface, t hrough
a
wide range of DC voltages
and
current;
AC voltages,
current
and dBm;
and
resistance. Connections
on
the
front panel include
terminals
for output, sense, voltage
guard
and current guard.
A
chassis binding
post
is
avail-
able on the rear panel. Available on the front panel is a
dedicated BNC output connector for use with the Wide-
band Option -03 which extends the frequency range of
the instrument. The connector is installed in all instru-
ments, allowing addition of the option at some later
date,
if
desired.

The output can be modified using the Front
Panel Error Mode controls or through an optional re-
mote interface. This allows the operator, in all outputs
except frequency, to modify the
output
and read the
deviation
from the base in percentage or digits on the
front panel or the remote device. Frequency can be modi-
i
fied to step through the entire range of the meter under
test with minimum amount of reprogramming by the
operator.

The 5100 Series has three models of calibrators.
The basic model is the 5100A which has ail the features
listed above. The Model 5101 A has all the features of the
; 5100A plus
an
integral storage system consisting of a
memory
and tape
cassette which allows the operator to
.
enter
or record a program
to
step the
calibrator through
a
predetermined
sequence. The 5102A
is
electronically
identical
to
the
5 100A with the
addition
of an
environ-
}
mental
element-resistant fiberglass
case plus all
position
relays
for operation at any angle.
This permits safer and
easier
transport
plus
the
ability to
operate in any posi-
tion.

to only a portion of the
series, and not
the
entire
series,
are marked
by

the title of the applicable item
with
a descriptive notation enclosed in parentheses.
Instruments
containing a storage memory and tape
system, e.g.,
5101 A,
are
identified
by
the notation (Stor-

with
the element resistant
case,
e.g.,
5102A, are
identified by the notation (Fiberglass Case
Only).

Series Common Features
1-8.
Ail models
of the Calibrator can
provide
dc
volt-
age outputs
from 0 to 1100
volts on six ranges
with
resolutions ranging
from 0.1 microvolts to 10
millivolts.
Direct current outputs
are available from 10 microamps
to
2 amps on
five ranges with resolution between 1 nano-
amp and
10
microamps.
1-9.
AC voltage outputs between 1 millivolt and
1 100 volts are available at 400 hertz. The maximum
voltage
available
varies with the frequency around the
400 hertz base, reaching a
20 volt maximum between
20
and
50
kHz, Six
ranges
are available for ac voltage
outputs
with
resolution
varying
from 0.1 microvolt to
10
millivolts.
Five alternating current
ranges
control
output from 10 microamps to 2 amps at frequencies of
50 Hz to 1 kHz, with resolution between 1
nanoamp
and
10
milliamps.
I -10. Resistance outputs
at
the
cardinal values
from
1 ohm
to
10 Megohm
are available. The outputs
from
i ohm
to 10 kilohm
have
a four terminal
measurement
capability.
The 100 kilohm, 1 Megohm and 10
Megohm
outputs
use two terminal measurements with the OUT-
PUT
HI and SENSE HI, and the OUTPUT LO and
SENSE
LO
terminals,
respectively, connected internally.
