3-3. Calibration Setup
The procedures in this manual have been developed to provide users the ability to
calibrate the Scope Calibrator at their own site if they are required to do so. It is strongly
recommended that, if possible, you return your unit to Fluke for calibration and
verification.
The hardware adjustments are intended to be one-time adjustments performed in the
factory, however, adjustment may be required after repair. Hardware adjustments must
be performed prior to calibration. Calibration must be performed after any hardware
adjustments. See “Hardware Adjustments” in this chapter.
The AC Voltage function is dependent on the DC Voltage function. Calibration of the
AC Voltage function is required after the dc voltage is calibrated.
The Calibrator Mainframe must complete a warm-up period prior to calibration to allow
internal components to thermally stabilize. The Calibrator Mainframe warm-up period is
at least twice the length of time the calibrator was powered off, up to a maximum of 30
minutes. The Scope Calibrator is enabled by pressing the Operate/Standby key (
).
Much of the Scope Calibrator can be calibrated interactively from the front panel. Enter
5820A Cal mode by pressing the front panel SETUP key, CAL blue softkey, and 5820A
CAL blue softkey. Entering the CAL mode prior to a 30 minute warmup period will
cause a warning message to be displayed.
All equipment specified for Scope Calibrator calibration must be calibrated, certified
traceable if traceability is to be maintained, and operating within their normal specified
operating environment. It is also important to ensure that the equipment has had
sufficient time to warm up prior to its use. Refer to the operating manuals for each piece
of equipment for details.
Before you begin calibration, you may wish to review all of the procedures in advance to
ensure you have the resources to complete them.
The Calibrator Mainframe first prompts the user to calibrate the DC Voltage function. If
another function is to be calibrated, alternately press the NEXT SECTION blue softkey
until the desired function is reached.
3-4. Calibration and Verification of Square Wave Voltage
Functions
The Voltage, Edge, and Wave Generator functions have square wave voltages that need
to be calibrated or verified. The HP3458A digital multimeter can be programmed from
either the front panel or over the remote interface to make these measurements.
3-5.
Overview of HP3458A Operation
The Hewlett-Packard 3458A digital multimeter is setup as a digitizer to measure the
peak-to-peak value of the signal. It is set to DCV, using various analog-to-digital
integration times and triggering commands to measure the topline and baseline of the
square wave signal.
3-6.
Setup for Scope Calibrator Voltage Square Wave Measurements
By controlling the HP 3458A’s integration and sample time, it can be used to make
accurate, repeatable measurements of both the topline and baseline of the Voltage
Square Wave up to 10 kHz. To make these measurements, the HP 3458A’s External
Trigger function is used in conjunction with the Scope Calibrator External Trigger
