IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
This bulletin provides instructions for the
1. Test Instrument Identification.
calibration of Oscilloscope Tektronix, Model 2430A. Manufacturers' manuals were 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. None.
b. Time and Technique. The time required for this calibration is approximately 5
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.
