13. The Calibrator Mainframe will prompt that the calibration is complete. Press the
OPTIONS, then STORE CONSTS blue softkeys to store the new calibration
constants.
6-43. Verification
All of the Oscilloscope Calibration functions should be verified at least once per year, or
each time the SC600 is calibrated. The verification procedures in this section provide
traceable results; however the factory uses different procedures and instruments of
higher precision than those described here. The procedures in this manual have been
developed to provide users the ability to verify the SC600 at their own site if they are
required to do so. Fluke strongly recommends that, if possible, you return your unit to
Fluke for calibration and verification.
All equipment specified for SC600 verification must be calibrated, certified traceable if
traceability is to be maintained, and operating within their normal specified operating
environment. It is also important to ensure that the equipment has had sufficient time to
warm up prior to its use. Refer to each equipment’s operating manual for details.
Before you begin verification, you may wish to review all of the procedures in advance
to ensure you have the resources to complete them.
All of the SC600 functions are listed in Table 6-18, with the verification technique
indicated.
