Setting the Advance Warning Period
On the CAL DUE DATE screen, the present setting of the advance warning period is
shown highlighted against one of the right screen keys. This period is altered by pressing
the appropriate right screen key.
Final Exit from Calibration Mode
When satisfied that the CAL DUE DATE and advance warning period are correct, press
the EXIT screen key to terminate calibration and return to the Mode Selection screen.
The stored Cal Date and Cal Due Date will appear on any directly-printed certificate for
this calibration.
Front Panel Base Calibration by Functions
Introduction
This section is a guide to the process of calibrating the Model 9500B's functions from the
front panel.
Other Functions
No calibration is required for the following functions, as they are either calibrated for life
at manufacture, or calibrated automatically as a result of calibrating the functions listed
above, as shown in the table:
Function Calibration

HF Sine flatness above 50 kHz
Head Calibration

There are therefore no manual calibration procedures for functions listed in the table,
although confidence checks for them can be performed (e.g. the Full Selftest procedure
detailed in,
Model 9500B Test and Selftest
).
