LeCroy WAVERUNNER 6000 SERIES - Performance Verification; 5.1 Introduction

5. Performance Verification
5.1 Introduction
This chapter contains procedures suitable for determining if the WaveRunner 6000
Series,VBA6050, VBA6100 and LSA1225 Digital Storage Oscilloscope performs
correctly and as warranted. They check all the characteristics listed in subsection
5.1.1.
In the absence of the computer automated calibration system based on LeCroy
Calibration Software (Calsoft), this manual performance verification procedure can
be followed to establish a traceable calibration. It is the calibrating entities’
responsibility to ensure that all laboratory standards used to perform this procedure
are operating within their specifications and traceable to required standards if a
traceable calibration certificate is to be issued for the WaveRunner 6000 Digital
Storage Oscilloscope.
5.1.1 List of Tested Characteristics
This subsection lists the characteristics that are tested in terms of quantifiable
performance limits.
• Input Impedance
• Leakage Current
• Peak to Peak noise level
• Positive and Negative DC accuracy
• Positive and Negative Offset
• Bandwidth
• Trigger Accuracy
• Time Base Accuracy
5.1.2 Calibration Cycle
The WaveRunner 6000 Digital Storage Oscilloscope requires periodic verification of
performance. Under normal use (2,000 hours of use per year) and environmental
conditions, this instruments calibration cycle is 12 months.
