Certificate of Calibration
Agilent Technologies will issue a certificate of calibration upon successful completion of
system verification or completion of the performance tests. The certificate of calibration
will apply to the “system” (analyzer, calibration kit, test cables, and any necessary
adapters) if the system verification procedure is used to confirm the system specifications.
If the performance tests are used to confirm instrument specifications, the certificate of
calibration will apply to the PNA as an independent instrument. The equipment and
measurement standards used for the tests must be certified and must be traceable to
recognized standards.
NOTE If you have a measurement application that does not use all of the
measurement capabilities of the analyzer, you may ask your local Agilent
Technologies service office to verify only a subset of the specifications.
However, this “limited calibration” creates the possibility of making
inaccurate measurements if you then use the analyzer in an application
requiring additional capabilities.
