    Chapter 1 Calibration Notices RIGOL Chapter 1 Calibration Notices Calibration Interval Regular calibration can ensure the performance specifications of DG5000. You are recommended to calibrate the instrument at a one-year calibration interval. You can choose a proper calibration interval according to your requirement of the performance accuracy but the calibration interval can not exceed 2 years (otherwise, the specifications can not be guaranteed).
  • Page 8: To Stop The Calibration

    Flash, you may lose all the calibration constants and you need to perform the calibration again. To Acquire the Calibration Service RIGOL does not recommend manual calibration by users. If calibration is required, please contact RIGOL customer service department or the local distributor. Recommended Test Devices It is recommended that you use the test devices listed in the table below or other test devices whose performance specifications satisfy the “Performance Requirement”...
  • Page 9: Test Notices

    Chapter 1 Calibration Notices RIGOL Test Notices For optimum performance, all procedures should comply with the following recommendations. Make sure the environment temperature is stable and between 18℃ and 28℃. Ideally, the calibration should be performed at 23℃±1℃. Make sure the environment relative humidity is less than 80%.
