IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. Test Instrument Identification.
This bulletin provides instructions for the
calibration of Pulse Generator, Hewlett-Packard, Model 8160A with Options 001 and 020.
The manufacturer's manual was used as the prime data sources in compiling these
instructions. The equipment being calibrated will be referred to as the TI (test instrument)
throughout this bulletin.
a. Model Variations. Option 001 has four rear panel BNC input/output connectors.
Option 020 has a second channel that includes delay, width, double pulse, transition times,
and output amplifier.
b. Time and Technique. The time required for this calibration is approximately 8
hours, using the dc and low frequency technique.
2. Forms, Records, and Reports
a. Forms, records, and reports required for calibration personnel at all levels are
prescribed by TB 750-25.
b. Adjustments to be reported are designated (R) at the end of the sentence in which
they appear. When adjustments are in tables, the (R) follows the designated adjustment.
Report only those adjustments made and designated with (R).
3. Calibration Description. TI parameters and performance specifications which
pertain to this calibration are listed in table 1.
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
4. Equipment Required. Table 2 identifies the specific equipment to be used in this
calibration procedure. This equipment is issued with Secondary Transfer Calibration
Standards Set AN/GSM-286; AN/GSM-287; or AN/GSM-705. Alternate items may be used
by the calibrating activity. The items selected must be verified to perform satisfactorily
prior to use and must bear evidence of current calibration. The equipment must meet or
exceed the minimum use specifications listed in table 2. The accuracies listed in table 2
provide a four-to-one ratio between the standard and TI. Where the four-to-one ratio
cannot be met, the actual accuracy of the equipment selected is shown in parenthesis.
5. Accessories Required. The accessories listed in table 3 are issued as indicated in
paragraph 4 above and are used in this calibration procedure. When necessary, these items
may be substituted by equivalent items, unless specifically prohibited.
