Re: AC Voltage Calibrator, home built
Then you're lucky.? If you removed any of the RTV around the memory pins (it's noted on the layout), it's used to minimize leakage from the CMOS memory.? You may want to put it back. Harvey

Yes thanks, I have started the cal process and it seems to be happy. dan Sent: Monday, August 8, 2022 10:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Test Equipment Design &

Re: AC Voltage Calibrator, home built
The real problem with the meters is the battery damage.? Go partway through the calibration procedure (just very rough), and see if the processor will store the cal constants.? If so, you're

Re: AC Voltage Calibrator, home built
Thanks Eric ¨C yep when I got it, there was battery gom all over that part of the board. I got it up and running, but this meter, as you may know, doesn¡¯t just come up and work when the cal

Re: AC Voltage Calibrator, home built
Be on the lookout for a fluke 5200A and if possible the 5205 amplifier. These are currently my best AC standards in the lab. Also there is known issues on the DM5010 (battery damage on the processor

Re: AC Voltage Calibrator, home built
An obvious sample design to look at is https://dmmcheckplus.com/technical-information, at least to give some parameters to circumscribe what's done out there. I have not looked at the design close

Re: AC Voltage Calibrator, home built
I have a DM5010 that I would love to calibrate. The difficult items in the cal procedure are 190V and 700V at 200Hz. I have tried to string some standard 70V line audio transformers together and use

Re: Making a Q-meter /
Thank you. I guess if one uses a fast sample and hold, the data acquisition could be done at a slower rate, as there's very little bandwidth of the signal. So there would be no need to sample at twice

Re: Making a Q-meter /
If they are anything like my HP 4284A and 4285A Precision LCR meters, the uncertainty of Q is *extremely high* for a Q of 20 or more. *An example from the 4285A user manual* L = 220 nH (measured) f =

Re: Making a Q-meter /
Marconi Instruments also made a well respected Q Meter (TF1245) along with accompanying Oscillators (TF1246 & 1247), they were not far behind Boonton in this and published their own booklets on Q

Re: Making a Q-meter /
I seem to recall that most of the R&S LCR meters also measured Q, can't recall the tolerance on the measurement. 73 Jeff G8HUL

I built a Q meter based on the ring down method that used an atmel processor. It was originally in the Silicon Chip magazine but you need a subscription to see the back issues. It was republished in

I have lots of equipment to do what I would call hobby level (non-NIST) equipment calibration. Perhaps quite a few of us can say the same but I think the one area of weakness for most of us is a
