Calibration Adjustment
This chapter includes calibration adjustment procedures for Keysight EDU33210 Series waveform generator.
Instructions are applicable for performing the procedures from a controller over the LAN or USB.
Perform the verification tests before calibrating your instrument. If the instrument passes the verification tests,
the unit is operating within its calibration limits and does not need to be re-calibrated.
Closed–case electronic calibration
The instrument uses closed-case electronic calibration; no internal mechanical adjustments are required. The
instrument calculates correction factors based on reference signals that you apply and stores the correction factors
in non-volatile memory. This data is not changed by cycling power, *RST, or SYSTem:PRESet.
Keysight Technologies calibration services
When your instrument is due for calibration, contact your local Keysight Service Center for a low-cost re-calibration.
The EDU33210 Series waveform generator is supported on automated calibration systems, which allow Keysight to
provide this service at competitive prices.
Calibration interval
The recommended calibration interval for Keysight EDU33210 Series waveform generator is one year.
Time required for calibration
For incoming instrument verification, do performance verification tests first. Then perform adjustments and re-run
the performance verification tests. Each of these steps, if done manually, takes approximately 30 minutes per
channel to perform. The instrument can also be automatically calibrated under computer control. With computer
control, you can perform the complete calibration procedure and performance verification tests in approximately 30
minutes (one channel) or 60 minutes (two channels) once the instrument is warmed-up (see
).
Refer to the
EDU33210 Series Programming Guide
for more information.
Automating calibration procedures
You can automate the complete verification and adjustment procedures outlined in this manual. You can program
the instrument configurations specified for each test over the remote interface. You can then enter read back
verification data into a test program and compare the results to the appropriate test limit values. The instrument
calibration must be unsecured to perform a calibration.
