Oscilloscope Calibrator
The powerful Fluke 5800A Oscilloscope Calibrator is a complete solution for oscilloscope calibration. It supports virtually all your analog and digital oscilloscopes quickly, easily and affordably. If you need to perform bandwidth or response tests on oscilloscopes up to 2.4 GHz, its auxiliary pass-through channel and tunnel diode pulser drive mode make it easy, using tools you may already have.
As your workload grows and changes, the 5800A's performance extension option expands its built-in capabilities to oscilloscopes in the GHz range. This provides the power you need today and the flexibility to meet tomorrow's requirements.
Complete Oscilloscope Verification :
Amplitude (vertical deflection) verifies the performance of all the deflection-related circuitry for amplitude accuracy in each range using dc or a square wave.
Fast Edge (dynamic response) verifies the vertical amplifiers, attenuators, analog-to-digital converters in digital storage oscilloscopes, and all other vertical deflection circuitry for transient response. The 5800A's <300 ps fast edge is more than adequate for most oscilloscopes. Our <125 ps tunnel diode pulser accessory makes it easy to verify the response of the fastest oscilloscopes >2 GHz in bandwidth.
Leveled Sine Wave (bandwidth verification), a 50 kHz to 600 MHz leveled sine wave source (extendable up to 2.4 GHz with external signal source or available option) with excellent flatness and amplitude accuracy determines the 3 dB roll-off point of the oscilloscope and can detect other discontinuities and drop outs.
Time Marks (horizontal timing) verify frequency accuracy and linearity, with +/- 2.5 ppm accuracy, more than enough to calibrate the most demanding digital oscilloscopes. Pulsed sawtooth, square and 20% pulse wave forms are provided. The 5800A also supports the use of an external frequency reference for even higher frequency accuracy.
