This chapter describes the calibration of the mainframe and the plug-in
module. It is intended to give you, or the calibration laboratory personnel, an
understanding of the various calibration procedures available, and how they
were intended to be used.
Proper calibration is critical to measurement accuracy and repeatability. The
Agilent 54750A/83480A and their associated modules and accessories require
that both factory and user calibrations be implemented at the recommended
intervals in order to perform measurements at their published speci cations.
This chapter is divided into three sections. The rst section describes
factory calibrations. A factory calibration consists of verifying instrument
performance to all speci cations. If an instrument fails to meet speci cations,
adjustment or repair may be necessary. For most users, this will mean
shipping the instrument back to an authorized service center. Some users
may purchase the required instrumentation and perform the factory timebase
calibrations themselves using the optional
Guide
or the electrical module calibration using the optional
83483A/4A/4B, 54751A/2A/2B Service Guide
The second part of the chapter addresses calibrations that are routinely
performed by the end user. Subsections in each of the two main sections
discuss the individual calibrations. In addition, there will be summary tables
at the end of each of these sections summarizing the main areas addressed.
The third part of the manual consists of a complete calibration summary
table at the end of the chapter. Both factory and user calibrations must be
