Keysight 11683A Operating and Service Manual 19
Description
The 11683A Range Calibrator is used to verify proper operation of compatible Power Meters such
as the Keysight Model 435A. The Power Meter's range ­ to-range accuracy and proper auto-zero
operation can be easily verified. The 11683A can supply a full-scale test signal to the Power Meter
for each Range Switch setting.
When set to CALIBRATE, the FUNCTION switch applies a dc voltage to the Power Meter; the input
is grounded in STANDBY. The POLARITY switch increases ease of testing and adjusting the Power
Meter auto-zero feedback circuit.
