Remote Calibration

You must perform a remote calibration if you use your FrameScope 350 with a different DualRemote 350, or if you upgrade the software in either the FrameScope or DualRemote. The FrameScope stores the serial number information of the DualRemote that it has been calibrated with. Before each measurement, the FrameScope checks the serial numbers of the DualRemote to which it is connected. If the FrameScope does not have remote calibration data stored for the detected DualRemote, a warning appears, asking you to calibrate the DualRemote.
Agilent Technologies recommends running the remote calibration once a day, at the beginning of a testing session.
Environmental Calibration (Internal)
Environmental calibration compensates for the effects of ambient temperature and voltage variations. The FrameScope 350 and DualRemote 350 use internal calibration paths to connect the signal source and measurement circuits, establishing a local calibration reference before each measurement. No operator involvement is required.
Field Verification of Baseline Accuracy
The
To run a Self Test on the FrameScope 350:
1Make sure that the FrameScope 350 display displays the main menu.
2Insert the
3Press the OK key. A PASS or FAIL screen displays.
The PASS screen indicates that the FrameScope’s baseline calibration data
is valid.
If a FAIL screen displays, contact Agilent Technical Support.
