Calibration Testing Procedures

Calibration Testing Procedures
These procedures are used to test the warranted specifications for the 1155A
Active Probe. Use the equipment listed in the Test Equipement Required section
to complete the calibration procedures.
Testing interval
The calibration test procedures may be performed for incoming inspection of the
instrument and should be performed periodically thereafter to ensure and
maintain peak performance. The recommended calibration test interval is yearly
or every 2,000 hours of operation. The amount of use, environmental conditions,
and the user's experience concerns regarding the need for testing will contribute
to your specific calibration test interval.
When you return the 1155A probe to Agilent for calibration, a new certificate is
provided which verifies that the probe performed within specified limits and
against equipment which is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and
Technology.
Equipment required for performance tests
The equipment required for the calibration tests is listed in the test. Any
equipment satisfying the critical specifications listed may be substituted for the
recommended model.
C A U T I O N Allow the probe to warm up for at least 15 minutes prior to starting the
calibration tests. Failure to allow the probe to warm up may cause the probe
to fail tests.
