Time Required for Calibration
The 34970A/34972A can be automatically calibrated under computer control.
With computer control you can perform the complete calibration procedure and
performance verification tests in less than 30 minutes once the instrument is
warmed-up (see “Test Considerations” on page 76). Manual calibrations using the
recommended test equipment will take approximately 2 hours.
Automating Calibration Procedures
You can automate the complete verification and adjustment procedures outlined
in this chapter if you have access to programmable test equipment. You can
program the instrument configurations specified for each test over the remote
interface. You can then enter readback verification data into a test program and
compare the results to the appropriate test limit values.
You can also adjust the instrument from the remote interface. Remote adjustment
is similar to the local front-panel procedure. You can use a computer to perform
the adjustment by first selecting the required function and range. The calibration
value is sent to the instrument and then the calibration is initiated over the remote
interface. The instrument must be unsecured prior to initiating the calibration
procedure.
For further information on programming the instrument, see Chapter 5 in the
34970A/34972A User’s Guide.
