Fluke 5560A - Theory of Operation

5560A/5550A/5540A
Operators Manual

Product features include:
• Automatic meter error calculation, with user-selectable reference values.
• x (Multiply) and * (Divide) that change the output value by multiples of ten or to pre-determined
cardinal values for various functions, including standard oscilloscope timebase and gain steps.
• Programmable entry limits that prevent the operator from entering values that exceed preset output
limits.
• Simultaneous output of voltage and current, simulating power up to 30.9 kW (not available on
5540A).
• 10 MHz sync pulse reference input and output. Use this to input a high-accuracy 10 MHz reference
to transfer the frequency accuracy to the Calibrator, and/or to synchronize one or more additional
Calibrators to a primary 5560A/5550A/5540A.
• Simultaneous output of two voltages.
• Extended bandwidth mode outputs multiple waveforms down to 0.01 Hz, and sine waves to 2 MHz.
• Variable output between 10 MHz reference input and primary OUTPUT, and between voltage and
current outputs.
• Standard IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface, complying with ANSI/IEEE Standards 488.1-1987 and 488.2-
1987.
• EIA Standard RS-232 serial data interface for Calibrator remote control.
• Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 high-speed interface device port for remote control of the Product
using USBTMC.
• Integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port for network connection remote control of the Product.
• USB Host port to save calibration reports to a flash drive and to provide firmware updates.
• Visual Connection Management input terminals illuminate to help show correct cable connection
configurations.
• Soft Power - automatic selection of line voltage/frequency.
• WVGA display with touch-screen and keypad control.
