SECTION I

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 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.
