Re: What calibration items to buy.


 

Errm no. Those need a Pulse Head - no kit for that, and the SG5030 needs a
levelling head - sadly no kit for that either.

As far as I know, the PG506 calibration generator and SG504 leveled
sinewave generator would be the ideal choice. They're compact and serve
many of the purposes. The SG504 has a level output up to 1050Mhz while the
SG503 only goes to 250Mhz. I'm not sure what else may be out there that is
in the $500.00 USD or less range, but those are the units that I also want,
but don't actually need.

Without considering price in particular, you may want to check the
CG501 (TM500) and the CG5001 (TM5000). These combine the functions of the
PG506 and SG5xx series. However, they need a leveling head which is
typically missing. I think there might be a DIY version out there, though.

Any of the TM5000 series can be remote controlled, any of the TM500 is not
made to to be remoted. The remote control mechanism is HPIB/IEEE-488.

I'm currently equipped with what is recommended by the 485 manual, but
those two plugins can handle the jobs of a shelf worth of the original
manual specified calibration gear, so I'd most definitely try to find those
plugins instead.

Also, my knowledge of calibration equipment doesn't extend beyond Tektronix
made gear, so there's most likely other options out there as well.
