Sorry should be mV not Volts in the example quoted at 1MHz.

Dr David Kirkby,

?

I am familiar with calibration and reports having run a NATA accredited radio communications test laboratory.

?

I did not look at all of the report and I don¡¯t know how long it should be for your instrument, but some of the figures are strange. ?

?

Refer sample of the pdf - copied example below

?

Familiar calibration report form aspects

?

¡¤???????? Set up Test frequency/test signal (obviously input test signal)??

¡¤???????? Minimum and Maximum ( The minimum and maximum acceptable range of tolerance for the measuring instrument under test to be in calibration)

¡¤???????? Measured value ¨C the result of the calibration measurement reported within the tolerance range in the format of the report.

¡¤???????? Measurement uncertainty ¨C the accuracy of the measurement that the laboratory can state with 95% confidence against the international standard.

?

But see below at 1MHz the range of ¡°acceptable¡± variation seems unreasonably excessive.? 6.42V is a +28% increase above 5V? I would have thought your instrument would need to be more accurate than that.

?

Regards Noel

Normally you

The cal certificate has test data but is just 8 pages in length - see attached.

Can you, or anyone else make any sense of it? The file was downloaded from the Keysight website. One can also download a small cal certificate, which is only a couple of pages. That contains no test data, but this one does have test data.

Does you cal cert list any test data, or is it the cover sheet stating everything is in spec and listing the cal stds used?? The 42030A resistor cal set is the std used for the resistance measurements.? There should be 10 or more pages of test readings for the resistance measurements.? It has been many years since I last calibrated the 4285A using the HP/Agilent/Keysight cal software but if I recall correctly, the test report was over 60 pages.

If you want to know the exact no. of pages I can make a phone call and get it, but it might take a week to get a reply.
