Performance Verification And Calibration - Agilent Technologies U8001A User's And Service Manual

Performance Verification and Calibration

U8001A/U8002A User's and Service Guide
This chapter contains performance verification and calibration
procedures. The performance verification procedures allow you
to verify that the power supply is operating within its published
specifications. The calibration procedures show how to make
voltage and current adjustment on the power supply.
Agilent Technologies Calibration Services
When your instrument is due for calibration, contact your local
Agilent Service Center for a low- cost recalibration.
Calibration Interval
One year interval is recommended for most applications.
Accuracy specifications are warranted only if calibration is
made at regular calibration interval. Accuracy specifications
are not warranted beyond the one year calibration interval.
Agilent does not recommend extending calibration intervals
beyond two years for any application. Agilent recommends that
complete re- adjustment should always be performed at the
calibration interval. This will increase your confidence that the
U8001A and U8002A will remain within specification for the
next calibration interval. The re- adjustment provides the best
long- term stability and accuracy.
