SR620 Universal Time Interval Counter
CALIBRATION
The SR620 is calibrated by adjusting calibration
constants which are stored in the unit's battery-
backed up RAM. The calibration values which
were determined when the unit was manufactured
are stored in the unit's ROM, and may be recalled
at any time.
The SR620 is mostly self-calibrating. The AutoCal
procedure may be run to adjust most of the
calibration constants to their correct value. An
important exception to this is the adjustment of the
10 MHz timebase. (See calibration procedure for
adjusting timebase frequency.) To run the AutoCal
procedure, select the "Autocal" line in the CAL
submenu of the CONFIG menu and push the
"START" button. The procedure will finish (in
about two minutes) with the message "Cal done".
(See the troubleshooting section of the manual if a
error occurs.) Autocal should be run every 1000
operating hours, or if the environmental operating
conditions change significantly. It may also be run
before critical measurements to insure optimum
instrument performance.
CALBYTES
The calbytes adjust for unit-to-unit variations which
are very stable. Most of the calibration is
automatic; there are only a few manual calibration
procedures. The calbytes may be viewed (and
adjusted) by putting the "cal enable" jumper
(inside the SR620 at the front center of the circuit
board) into the "enable" position and then looking
at the "Caldat" line in the Cal submenu. The
function of the calbytes are given in the table here:
