Note that the other 9500B functions, listed in Active Head Calibration and Other
Functions cannot be externally adjusted during Mainframe calibration (they are either
derived directly from functions that can be calibrated, or are calibrated 'for life' during
manufacture, or are adjusted during 'Head' calibration). Attempting to select these
functions during Mainframe calibration, while the Model 9500B is in CAL mode, will
result in an error message being displayed:
No calibration for this function
Cal Mode Function Screens
Generally, two special screens are provided to adjust each of the functions' calibration
points. In CAL mode, the purpose of these screens is to allow you to set the 9500B into
the various hardware configurations (also known as 'Cal Ranges') required during
calibration, and initiate the necessary sequences of operations.
Each Function/Waveform is identified by the usual symbol in the top left corner.
