Amplitude Calibration Procedure for an Oscilloscope
This example procedure tells you how to use the Volt menu to calibrate the oscilloscope’s
amplitude gain. During calibration, you will need to set different voltages and verify that
the gain matches the graticule lines on the oscilloscope according to the specifications for
your particular oscilloscope. See your oscilloscope manual for the recommended
calibration settings and appropriate gain values.
Before you start this procedure, verify that you are running the oscilloscope option in
Volt mode. If you are, the Control Display shows the subsequent menu.

Do the subsequent sample procedure to calibrate the vertical gain.
1.
Connect the Calibrator to Channel 1 on the oscilloscope, making sure the
oscilloscope is terminated at the proper impedance (1 M
Ω
for this example). Verify
that the
key on the 5502A is illuminated, indicating that the signal is connected.
2.
Key in the voltage level that is recommended for your oscilloscope. For example to
record 30 mV, push
, then push
. See “Keying in a
Value” earlier in this chapter.
3.
Adjust the oscilloscope as necessary. The waveform should be similar to the one
shown below, with the gain at exactly the amount specified for the calibration
settings for your oscilloscope.
This example shows the gain at 30 mV to be 6 divisions, at 5 mV per division.

4.
Change the voltage to the next value recommended for calibrating your oscilloscope
model, and repeat this procedure at the new voltage level, verifying the gain is
correct according to the specifications in your manual.
5.
Repeat the procedure for each channel.
