Now my blood pressure is beginning to rise. Signal sources never require calibration as long as their output is measured with a calibrated device. The representative of the certifying organization appears incompetent in this case, unless some information has been left out. Ken Javor

While carrying Or even that everything has to be calibrated. A test lab I refrain from naming built a spark gap/ tuned circuit to generate a damped sine wave. I am told, however, that a certifying organization objected to the fact that the network was uncalibrated, even though it required a calibrated oscilloscope to use. Those who have been in the (unnamned) lab may recall seeing it on a shelf with a tag inviting viewers to identify its function.
