Page 40: Factory Mainframe Calibrations
Factory Mainframe Calibrations Mainframe calibration (performed at the factory) improves timebase accuracy. All timebase measurements such as rise time, fall time, eye width, jitter, and so forth are a ected by the timebase accuracy. The calibration factors are stored in the nonvolatile RAM of the instrument. There is a switch on the back panel of the instrument that allows the mainframe calibration to be protected or unprotected. -

Page 45: Dark Calibration Menu
Calibration Overview User Calibrations If extinction ratio measurements are being made after the vertical scale or the o set has changed. If the line power has been cycled, the dark calibration invokes either the o set zero calibration or plug-in vertical calibration as needed. This increases the time required for the dark calibration to complete. -
Page 46: Channel Skew Calibration
Calibration Overview User Calibrations Channel Skew Calibration The skew calibration changes the horizontal position of a waveform on the display. The skew calibration has a range of approximately 100 s. You can use skew to compensate for the di erences in cable or probe lengths. It also allows you to place the trigger edge at the center of the display when you are using a power splitter connected between the channel and trigger inputs. -
Page 47: External Scale
Calibration Overview User Calibrations The analyzer calibrates to the tip of the probe by setting the probe attenuation to the actual attenuation ratio of the probe. The CAL signal is internally routed to the probe tip for Agilent active probes. The mainframe's CAL signal is a voltage source, therefore you can let the instrument compensate for the actual characteristics of your probe by letting the instrument calibrate to the tip of the probe. -

Calibration Overview User Calibrations Figure 3-3. Electrical Channel Calibrate Menu To calibrate other Since the mainframe's CAL signal is a voltage source, it cannot be used devices to calibrate to the probe tip when the units are set to Ampere, Watt, or Unknown. - Page 49 Calibration Overview User Calibrations External Scale There is an External scale setting which allows the user to enter in an o set value to compensate for gains or losses not associated with the device under test. This feature is useful for adjusting out the e ects of devices such as test xtures and attenuators so that the reading on the display gives the measurement value associated with only the actual device under test.
