The Time Electronics 5045 Oscilloscope Calibrator provides a wide range of outputs for amplitude, frequency, period and bandwidth. Amplitude calibration is achieved by a DC signal or 1 kHz square-wave, ranging from 1 mV to 220 V (2 V max for 50 ohm loads). Deviation up to ± 9.99 % allows fine adjustment of amplitude and direct read-out of error.
Accurate frequencies are generated from a temperature controlled quartz crystal oscillator. Alternatively a 10 MHz reference input in can be used. Timing accuracy of 0.1 ppm is suitable for most oscilloscopes and timer counters. A precise square-wave output provides a fast rise time of less than 300 ps, allowing bandwidth testing up to 600 MHz.
The 5045 is supplied with a Windows based virtual control interface software. This allows the user to control the instrument via a laptop or PC. EasyCal software is available as an option to enable automated testing and calibration management.
