3110 Calibration Guide
This section provides the guidelines for establishing the performance of key parameters for the DSR 100-15's Controller.
It provides instructions for the measurement of the various output signals the Controller can provide. Although the output
of the Controller can be adjusted via the gain settings, this feature is intended for use in calibrating the DSR 100-15
system and not for calibrating the output of the Controller alone. For instructions on the calibration of a DSR 100-
15system, please see the Help topic
"System Calibration."
For the calibration of the Controller, tolerances and ranges will be provided for a variety of measurements. The results of
the measurements will be essentially a "Pass" or "Fail." Tests conducted according to these instructions should be
considered "functional tests" that are intended to confirm the function of the settings of the Controller. Since fine
adjustment of the test system can be accomplished via the DSR 100-15System Calibration, the calibration of the
Contnrolelr will require only general instrumentation. The procedure should be carried out with the gain set at the
anticipated gain to be used in testing. The default gain used in the assessment tables is 20.
Documentation
Standard SI units commonly found in electrical standard are used for checking the calibration of the Controller. The
minimum requirements for calibration documentation are that the instruments used should be able to accurately measure
the quantities in Table 1 within the tolerances provided. Instruments should bear evidence (via a label on the instrument
or similar documentation) that the measuring instrument is calibrated. The table shown below is provided to record the
performance of the Controller in key areas, and to facilitate interaction with the AE Techron when needed.
ANSI Z540 or ISO 17205 calibration with documentation is available as an option.
Required Instruments
Instruments required are an oscilloscope and a digital multimeter. All measurements should be made into high-impedance
instruments. The measurements outlined here do not require a probe. Using BNC connectors to both instruments is
advised. It is assumed that the oscilloscope probe attenuation is set at 1X.
Best performance will be attained if the measuring instruments are either isolated (battery powered) or grounded at the
same point with the DSR 100-15.
Instruments requirements are suggested requirements. Virtually any calibrated high impedance DMM and oscilloscope
will serve. Observe any temperature corrections or other temperature based requirements for the measuring instruments.
