Keysight M9182A/M9183A Calibration and Verification Procedure
37
Closed-Case Electronic Calibration
The instrument features closed-case electronic calibration. No internal
mechanical adjustments are required. The instrument calculates correction
factors based upon the input reference values that you enter. The new correction
factors are stored in non-volatile memory until the next calibration adjustment is
performed.
Keysight Technologies Calibration Services
Keysight Technologies offers calibration services at competitive prices. When your
instrument is due for calibration, contact your local Keysight Service Center for
recalibration.
Calibration Interval
The instrument should be calibrated on a regular interval determined by the
measurement accuracy requirements of your application. A one-year interval is
adequate for most applications. Accuracy specifications will remain valid only if
adjustment is made at regular calibration intervals. Accuracy specifications are
not valid beyond the one-year calibration interval. Keysight does not recommend
extending calibration intervals beyond two years for any application.
Adjustment is Recommended
Specifications are only valid within the period stated from the last adjustment.
Keysight recommends that complete re-adjustment always be performed at the
selected calibration interval. This is necessary to ensure that the instrument will
remain within specification for the next calibration interval and provides the best
long-term stability.
Performance data measured during performance verification tests do not mean
that the instrument will remain within these limits unless the adjustments are
performed. Use the Calibration Count feature to verify that adjustments have
been performed and stored in non-volatile memory. This can be done using the
SFP or with computer control.
In the SFP, click Single, then choose Calibration from the Tools menu. You can
then read the calibration count and the calibration message. To do this
programmatically, use the AGM918X_ATTR_CALIBRATE_COUNT method.
