Automatic Deletion Of Calibration; Saving Calibration Data - Omicron Lab Bode 100 User Manual

8.4.5 Automatic deletion of calibration

In order to avoid false measurements or an invalid calibration, the Bode Analyzer Suite automatically
deletes calibration as soon as a setting makes the calibration invalid. The following lists show which
settings will delete a calibration when they are changed.
Deleting User-Range calibration
User-Range calibration is automatically deleted when one of the following settings is changed:
• Measurement frequencies (Start Frequency, Stop Frequency, Center Frequency, Span)
• Sweep Mode (Linear or Logarithmic)
• Number of Points (in the frequency sweep)
• Channel termination (1 MΩ or 50 Ω)
• Reference / receiver connection (Internal or External)
• External probe factor
Deleting Full-Range calibration
Full-Range calibration is automatically deleted when one of the following settings is changed:
• Channel termination (1 MΩ or 50 Ω)
• Reference / receiver connection (Internal or External)
• External probe factor

8.4.6 Saving calibration data

User-Range and Full-Range calibration data is saved to the .bode3 file.
The calibration data (correction values) as well as the calibration states (activated or not) are stored to
the file. When opening a bode-file the Bode Analyzer Suite attempts to load the external calibration
data and calibration states from the file.
The Bode Analyzer Suite attempts to load the calibration from the bode-file even when the
calibration has been performed with a different Bode 100 device.
Hardware incompatibilities between Bode 100 R1 and Bode 100 R2
• Full-Range calibration from Bode 100 R1 is not compatible to Full-Range calibration of
Bode 100 R2. Full-Range calibration will be deleted automatically when opening a bode-file
created with a different hardware revision.
• User-Range calibration is not compatible in the frequency range from 3 kHz to 30 kHz. A User-
Range calibration that contains frequencies in that range will be deleted automatically when
opening a bode-file created with a different hardware revision.
