Omicron Lab Bode 100 - Automatic Deletion of Calibration; Saving Calibration Data

10.4.5 Automatic deletion of calibration
In order to avoid false measurements or an invalid calibration, the Bode Analyzer Suite automatically
deletes calibration as soon as a setting makes the calibration invalid. The following lists show which
settings will delete a calibration when they are changed.
Deleting User-Range calibration
User-Range calibration is automatically deleted when one of the following settings is changed:
• Measurement frequencies (Start Frequency, Stop Frequency, Center Frequency, Span)
• Sweep Mode (Linear or Logarithmic)
• Number of Points (in the frequency sweep)
• Channel termination (1 MΩ or 50 Ω)
• Reference / receiver connection (Internal or External)
• External probe factor
Deleting Full-Range calibration
Full-Range calibration is automatically deleted when one of the following settings is changed:
• Channel termination (1 MΩ or 50 Ω)
• Reference / receiver connection (Internal or External)
• External probe factor
10.4.6 Saving calibration data
User-Range and Full-Range calibration data is saved to the .bode3 file.
The calibration data (correction values) as well as the calibration states (activated or not) are stored to
the file. When opening a bode-file the Bode Analyzer Suite attempts to load the external calibration
data and calibration states from the file.
The Bode Analyzer Suite attempts to load the calibration from the bode-file even when the
calibration has been performed with a different Bode 100 device.
Hardware incompatibilities between Bode 100 R1 and Bode 100 R2
• Full-Range calibration from Bode 100 R1 is not compatible to Full-Range calibration of
Bode 100 R2. Full-Range calibration will be deleted automatically when opening a bode-file
created with a different hardware revision.
• User-Range calibration is not compatible in the frequency range from 3 kHz to 30 kHz. A User-
Range calibration that contains frequencies in that range will be deleted automatically when
opening a bode-file created with a different hardware revision.
