66 Keysight 34970A/34972A Service Guide
Keysight Technologies Calibration Services
When your instrument is due for calibration, contact your local Keysight Service
Center for a low-cost recalibration. The 34970A/34972A is supported on
automated calibration systems which allow Keysight 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. Keysight
does not recommend extending calibration intervals beyond 2 years for any
application.
Adjustment is Recommended
Whatever calibration interval you select, Keysight recommends that complete
re-adjustment should always be performed at the calibration interval. This will
assure that the 34970A/34972A 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 feature (see page 74) to verify that all adjustments have
been performed.
