Calibration
The MDA800A is calibrated at the factory prior to being shipped. This
calibration is run at 23° C (± 2° C) and is valid for temperatures ± 5° C of
the original calibration temperature. Within this temperature range, the
MDA800A will meet all specifications.
Warm up the MDA800A for at least 20 minutes prior to use. During the
warm-up period, the instrument will automatically initiate calibrations to
ensure that it is always calibrated.
When the MDA800A is used outside of the factory calibration
temperature range, a user-invoked temperature dependent calibration is
recommended. There are two options for this calibration: Calibrate All or
Calibrate Current Setting.
Calibrate All - All possible combinations of vertical and horizontal
settings are calibrated at the current temperature. This calibration is valid
for the current temperature ± 5° C and takes about 50 minutes.
Calibrate Current Setting - The instrument is calibrated at the current
vertical and horizontal settings only. This calibration is valid for these
settings at the current temperature ± 5° C and takes under 30 seconds.
It is also recommended that the MDA800A be calibrated when it has
been more than one month since the previous calibration.
CAUTION. Remove all inputs from the instrument prior to
calibration.
