Inspecting the Package Contents / 10 Safety and Regulatory Information / 11 Cleaning and Handling the Calibration Module / 12 This chapter introduces the four calibration modules used to calibrate the Keysight Infiniium UXR real-time oscilloscopes and the M8131A digitizer module.
It includes interleave correction, time scale, and 50 Ω input resistance calibrations, among others. To perform a frame calibration, the N2125A, N2126A, or N2127A calibration module is required. All of the oscilloscope’s calibration factors are stored into flash memory (NAND) on the backplane board.

1.0 mm connectors; the other end is calibrated to 10 in-lbs for use only when mating to Keysight ruggedized 1.0 mm connectors. The N2125A has a ruggedized connector, so be sure to use the ruggedized end of the wrench. Follow the usage instructions in the Keysight Infiniium UXR Real-Time Oscilloscopes User’s Guide.
Calibration Procedure Remove the connector savers from all channels. Connect the calibration module to the oscilloscope. For N2125A and N2126A modules, connect the components in this order: Attach the AutoProbe pod to the AutoProbe 3 interface for channel 1.
