How Keysight Verifies the Devices in Your Kit
Keysight verifies the specifications of these devices as follows:
1.
The residual microwave error terms of the test system are verified with
precision airlines and shorts that are directly traced to the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The airline and short
characteristics are developed from mechanical measurements. The
mechanical measurements and material properties are carefully modeled
to give very accurate electrical representation. The mechanical
measurements are then traced to NIST through various plug and ring
gages and other mechanical measurements.
2.
Each device is electrically tested on this system. The measurement
uncertainty for each device is recorded in the calibration report that
accompanies every kit.
These two steps establish a traceable link to NIST for Keysight to the extent
allowed by the institute’s calibration facility. The specifications data provided
for the devices in the kit is traceable to NIST through Keysight Technologies.
Recertification
The following will be provided with a recertified kit:
— a new calibration sticker affixed to the case
— a certificate of calibration
— a calibration report for each device in the kit listing measured values,
specifications, and uncertainties
Keysight Technologies offers a
Standard
calibration for the recertification of
the kit. For more information, contact Keysight Technologies. Refer to
How Often to Recertify
The suggested initial interval for recertification is 12 months or sooner. The
actual need for recertification depends on the use of the kit. After reviewing the
results of the initial recertification, you may establish a different recertification
interval that reflects the usage and wear of the kit.
A list of NIST traceable numbers may be purchased upon request to be
included in the calibration report.
The recertification interval should begin on the date the kit is
first used
after the recertification date.
