5730A Calibration 

The 5730A Calibrator makes use of internal check standards and measurement systems. 
As a result, it can be completely calibrated in place to full specifications with a small 
number of convenient, portable, environmentally-tolerant standards available from Fluke 
Calibration. This procedure is traceable to military standard requirements. 

When manufactured, each Calibrator is calibrated and thoroughly verified with process 
metrology and calibration standards traceable to the U.S. National Bureau of Standards. 
A certificate of calibration is included. 

The calibration verification procedure is recommended every 2 years or as required by 
established policies. This procedure involves no adjustments. It ensures internal processes 
are in control, and establishes parallel external traceability paths for internal functions 
such as ac transfers that are never adjusted or corrected. 

The Artifact Calibration Process 

Calibration requires only three external standards or artifacts: 10 V, 1 

Ω

, and 10 k

Ω

. 

Environmentally-controlled internal check standards provide the primary reference 
points. A stored table of calibration constants defines additional reference points for 
controlling the output. Traceable calibration and adjustment to the specified level of 
performance is accomplished in a semi-automated process that revises this table. 

When finished with artifact calibration, but before the new constants are saved, the 
5730A Calibrator presents the proposed adjustments as +/- ppm of range and percentage 
change in specification for each range and function. A list of changes can be saved to a 
file through the USB host port on the front of the Calibrator, or send them to a computer 
through either the serial port, USB device port, Ethernet port, or the IEEE-488 port. Also 
on completion of calibration, the Calibrator shows the largest proposed change. 

Calibration can be completed as far as deriving and printing the proposed adjustments 
without entering the calibration protection passcode. To save the changes in non-volatile 
memory to adjust future outputs from the Calibrator, the passcode must be entered from 
the front panel or with a remote command. The passcode entry menu is shown on the 
display when necessary.
