6 Performance Tests and Calibration
148 Keysight U1251B and U1252B User’s and Service Guide
Recommended Test Equipment
The test equipment recommended for the performance verification and 
adjustment procedures is listed below. If the exact instrument is not available, 
substitute calibration standards of equivalent accuracy.
A suggested alternative method would be to use the Keysight 3458A 8½ – Digit 
Digital Multimeter to measure less accurate yet stable sources. The output value 
measured from the source can be entered into the instrument as the target 
calibration value.
