8.3. 

Calibration Notice 

 

 

SeeGull MX Scanning Receivers are 
calibrated at the factory as an optional service 
from PCTEL. PCTEL recommends 
recalibration every 2 years in order to 
maintain specified accuracy levels. 

SeeGull Scanning Receivers are calibrated 
for several sources of variations, including 
amplitude levels, ambient temperature, input 
frequency, and internal noise levels for 
narrow and wide channel bandwidths. 
Automated test and calibration stations use 
proprietary software which performs the 
calibration process with minimum human 
intervention. Calibration is followed by a fully 
automated production test. The test results 
are stored in a central quality database and 
then extracted and used for periodic quality 
audits. 
 
Every unit that passes the calibration and test 
process successfully receives a Certificate of 
Calibration. This Certificate is shipped back 
with the unit. 
 
The complexity of the calibration process 
precludes field calibration. PCTEL 
recommends returning scanning receivers to 
the factory biennia

lly to maintain the units’ 

exceptional measurement capability.
