Front USB port. Calibration report data can be saved to a flash drive inserted into
this port. The Calibration report process is explained in Chapter 7 of the Operators
Manual.

- multiplies the present output by 10.

- divides the present output by 10.
Invert output key. If the output function is dc voltage, current, ac voltage entered in
dBm, or a wideband output entered in dBm, push
polarity of the output. If the output function is ac voltage or current, push
 to change the output to dc.
If the Calibrator is the location of the ground reference point in a system, the
GROUND binding post can be used to connect other instruments to earth ground.
The chassis is normally connected to earth ground through the three-conductor line
cord instead of through the earth ground binding post. Refer to "Cable Connection
Instructions" in Chapter 4 of the Operators Manual for details. Included with the
Calibrator is a brass strap that connects GROUND to V GUARD.
The V GUARD binding post provides an external connection point for the internal
voltage guard. For a UUT with floating (ungrounded) inputs, the V GUARD should
be connected to LO internally (External Guard OFF). For a UUT with a grounded
input, the V GUARD must be externally connected to the grounded UUT input
(External Guard on). The maximum allowable potential between the V GUARD
[1]
connector and chassis ground is 20 V peak. Refer to "When to use the External
Voltage Guard" and "Cable Connection Instructions" in Chapter 4 of the Operators
Manual for details.
The WIDEBAND connector is a Type "N" connector that provides a connection
point for output from the Option 5730A/03 or 5730A/05 Wideband AC Module.
Wideband output specifications are stated for output levels present at the end of its
3-foot 50 Ω coaxial cable terminated into a 50 Ω purely resistive load. The
[1]
connector shell is connected to chassis ground. Refer to Chapter 4 of the Operators
Manual for connecting and operating instructions for the wideband module.
