Performance Verification and Calibration
This chapter contains performance verification and
calibration procedures. The performance verification
procedures allow you to verify that the power supply is
operating within its published specifications. The calibration
procedures show how to make voltage and current
adjustment on the power supply.
Agilent Technologies Calibration Services
When your instrument is due for calibration, contact your
local Agilent Service Center for a low- cost recalibration.
Calibration Interval
One year interval is recommended for most applications.
Accuracy specifications are warranted only if calibration is
made at regular calibration interval. Accuracy specifications
are not warranted beyond the one year calibration interval.
Agilent does not recommend extending calibration intervals
beyond two years for any application. Agilent recommends
that complete re- adjustment should always be performed at
the calibration interval. This will increase your confidence
that the U8001A and U8002A will remain within
specification for the next calibration interval. The
re- adjustment provides the best long- term stability and
accuracy.
