The 9500B Oscilloscope Calibrator features
Automating oscilloscope calibration is possibly one of the biggest
productivity enhancements that can be realised in many calibration
labs. Performed manually, this work requires skilled operators to
spend a substantial amount of time performing what are essentially
repetitive tasks. Semi, or partial automation solutions apparently
address this issue and free skilled technicians to perform more
valuable tasks. However, in practice, these partial solutions
present their own problems.
Over the last decade, the oscilloscope of choice has migrated from
a two-channel instrument to a more complex four-channel device.
When calibrating these instruments, it is necessary to move the
calibrating signal from channel to channel as the procedure
progresses. This can be achieved by physically moving cables,
though this requires operator intervention. In high performance
instruments, this may introduce additional measurement
uncertainties as cables and connectors are handled. An alternative
is to introduce a switching matrix to route signals, though this
may result in problems with signal reflections, poor contacts and
path differences that materially impact calibration uncertainties.
Active Heads and full automation
The Fluke Calibration 9500B addresses these issues, and provides
true, full automation through the use of its unique Active Heads.
With the 9500B, all the signals required to fully calibrate the
oscilloscope are generated in detachable heads, remote from the
calibrator mainframe. The heads are connected directly to the
oscilloscope input without the need for additional cables. All
control and switching of waveforms are performed under the control
of the mainframe, yet within the head itself - typically only a
matter of millimeters away from the oscilloscope input and
amplifiers. With each 9500B mainframe able to control up to five
heads, all the signals required to calibrate a 4-channel
oscilloscope with an external trigger can be supplied, controlled
and switched without operator intervention or the need for external
switching.
MET/CAL® Plus Calibration Management Software
The final link in the chain of full automation is software. The
9500B Oscilloscope Calibrator can be used with Fluke Calibration’s
powerful IEEE-488 (GPIB) based MET/CAL Plus automated calibration
management software. While allowing you to automate the calibration
process, MET/CAL also documents results, manages your calibration
inventory, and allows you to develop new oscilloscope calibration
procedures. Running under Microsoft Windows® and supporting
multi-user networking, the software implements advanced features
such as ISO 9000 compliant traceability, custom certificate and
report generation, and high-level procedure programming. The result
is higher workload throughput, better calibration consistency,
minimization of human error, and less requirement for operator
training - in short, higher quality calibration at lower cost.
Gold Support Program
To keep pace with the fast changing oscilloscope market, Fluke
Calibration is continuously writing new calibration procedures. For
a one-off, low-cost payment (less than it would cost you to have
three or four DSO oscilloscope calibration procedures written), you
can buy into our MET/SUPPORT Gold Software Support Program which
gives you access to every new procedure written by Fluke’s software
support team during the next 12 months. On current performance,
that’s upwards of 100 new oscilloscope calibration procedures per
year. And you won’t have to request updates or wait for delivery;
every new procedure we write is available for download from our web
site. In addition to the free procedures library, you will receive
60 days priority support to get you up and running with MET/SUPPORT
Gold. You also have the option to buy into our MET/SUPPORT Gold
program, which offers you various advantages, including the
opportunity to download new procedures from our web site or even
obtain custom written procedures. If the oscilloscope calibration
procedure you require is not available and you need it quickly, we
can write it for you at very competitive rates as part of our
fast-track procedure writing scheme.
