    5. CALIBRATION 1. INTROUCTION Calibration of Time Base Oscillator Frequency and Trigger Level is needed after a certain time of usage. Time base oscillator adjustment should be made whenever the oscillator is repaired. Or whenever it is determined that accuracy of the counter is not within the accuracy desired.
