Calibration Interval; Time Required For Calibration; Automating Calibration Procedures - Keysight 34450A Service Manual

Calibration interval

A one year interval is adequate for most applications. Accuracy specifications are
warranted only if adjustment is made at regular calibration intervals. Accuracy
specifications are not warranted beyond the one year calibration interval. Keysight
does not recommend extending calibration intervals beyond two years for any
application.

Time required for calibration

The 34450A can be automatically calibrated under computer control. With
computer control you can perform the complete calibration procedure and
performance verification tests in less than 60 minutes once the instrument is
warmed-up (see
Programmer's Reference online help for more information.

Automating calibration procedures

The adjustment procedures provided in this Service Guide demonstrate front
panel adjustment. You can automate the complete verification and adjustment
procedures outlined in this manual. You can program the instrument
configurations specified for each test over the remote interface. You can then
enter read back verification data into a test program and compare the results to
the appropriate test limit values. The instrument calibration must be unsecured to
perform a calibration.
