Operator Manual
8-77. Oscilloscope Calibration Option Specifications
These specifications apply only to the Oscilloscope Calibration Option. General
specifications that apply to the 5520A Calibrator can be found in Chapter 1. The
specifications are valid providing the 5520A is operated under the conditions specified in
Chapter 1, and has completed a warm-up period of at least twice the length of time the
calibrator was powered off, up to a maximum of 30 minutes.

The square wave signal into 1 M
105 V, its output is a square wave-like signal that alternates between the negative peak and the
positive peak, with the centerline at -10 V. Signals between 55 V and 95 V p-p are not available.
[2]
The uncertainty for 50
Square wave signals below 4.5 mV p-p have an uncertainty of ± (0.25% of output + 200 µV).
[3]
Signals from 95 to 105 V p-p have an uncertainty of 0.5% of output in the frequency range 100 Hz to
1 kHz. Typical uncertainty is 1.5% of output for 95 to 105 V p-p signals in the frequency range 10 Hz
to 100 Hz, and 0.5% of output in the frequency range 1 kHz to 10 kHz.
