Figure 9-2: T703 Electronic Block Diagram

The core of the calibrator is a microcomputer (referred to as the CPU) that controls various internal processes,

interprets data, makes calculations, and reports results using specialized firmware developed by Teledyne API.

It communicates with the user as well as receives data from and issues commands to a variety of peripheral

devices via a separate printed circuit assembly called the motherboard.

The motherboard is directly mounted to the inside rear panel and collects data, performs signal conditioning

duties and routes incoming and outgoing signals between the CPU and the calibrator’s other major components.
