Calibration
When shipped, the Product is calibrated at the factory, traceable to the SI. To
maintain traceability, calibrate the Product to traceable external standards using
proper procedures, as often as required by your choice of calibration cycle: 90
day, 1 year, or 2 years.
Calibration Reports
Calibration Reports show the shifts at various input levels and frequencies that
are the result of the most recent, or the previous calibration. The report can be
saved to a USB drive or retrieved from a host computer through the RS-232,
USB device port, Ethernet port, or IEEE-488 interface.
The calibration reports are test reports, not calculations of correction
factors to be applied. Do not use the shifts printed on the reports as
correction factors.
Save Calibration Reports
Calibration reports can be created and exported to a USB flash drive using
remote commands. The subsequent sections describe the reports.
To save a calibration report:
1. Put a flash drive into the front USB port.
2. Execute the "CAL_USB" command. Refer to the Remote Commands section
Once the command is executed, the report starts downloads to the USB drive. It
can take up to 2 minutes to complete. Use the *OPC or *OPC? remote command
to determine when the download has completed. The report is in comma
separated value (CSV) format and can be imported into a spreadsheet program
such as Microsoft Excel.
3. Open or print the file from the PC.
