Calibrator copes with the old and the new
The Time Electronics 5025 is billed as the ultimate multiproduct calibrator, designed for both traditional and new measurement equipment.
Calibration bench does the lot
The Time Electronics Calibration Bench is designed for a wide range of calibration and test procedures.
Amplitude calibration is achieved by a DC signal or 1kHz square-wave, ranging from 1mV to 200V (2V maximum for 50ohm loads).
Deviation up to +/-9.99% allows fine adjustment of amplitude and direct readout of error.
Accurate frequencies are generated from a temperature controlled quartz crystal oscillator.
Timing accuracy of 0.1ppm is ideal for virtually all oscilloscopes and timer counters.
A precise square-wave output provides a fast rise time of less than 300ps, which allows bandwidth testing up to 600MHz.
The 5041 follows the modern trend of instrumentation that is PC controlled.
The Windows based "virtual front panel" is quick and easy to use.
Communication with the unit is via RS232 (serial) or GPIB, which allows simple integration with Time Electronics' EasyCal software.
This also provides the perfect solution for ATE systems.
For precise bandwidth determination and frequency response analysis the 2.2GHz option is available.
The ability to sweep the frequency output from 10MHz to 2.2GHz and adjust the amplitude from 400mV to 1.1V peak-peak ensures accurate analysis of oscilloscope input amplifiers.
For calibration of oscilloscope current probes an external adapter is available.
This converts the 5041's amplitude output to current and covers the range 0.1 to 100mA peak-peak, 0.2% accuracy, DC or 1kHz.
