Re: [volt-nuts] Calibration Sources for Solartron 7081

Hi J. L.

From: "J. L. Trantham" 


However, AC promises to be a problem.  I guess I will try using a signal
generator and an amplifier to see what output level and stability I can
achieve.

You have to link the amplifier to your DC standard to have the stability needed.


But still, what frequency?  60 Hz?  1 kHz?

The 'basic' calibration is usually performed at 400Hz.
With check at higher frequencies (40KHz and 400KHz for the 7081) to know if 
it's still properly compensated.

Bye,
Jean-Louis

Jean-Louis,

My DC standards are a Fluke 731B and Fluke 335A DC Voltage Standards and an
EDC CR103 DC Current and Voltage Standard.

My resistance standards consist of a collection of Leeds and Northrup type
standard resistors as well as a collection of General Radio Decade
Resistance boxes that will get me up into the MegOhm range.

However, AC promises to be a problem.  I guess I will try using a signal
generator and an amplifier to see what output level and stability I can
achieve.

But still, what frequency?  60 Hz?  1 kHz?

Thanks,

Joe

The stability is not high enough to be useful!
Have a look to http://www.on4jln.be/infos/getfile?file=515A-OM.pdf,
it is the Fluke 515A, to learn how they dealt with that problem. If your 10V
is good you will get better results too. And it needs to be very good to
calibrate the 7081! Stability is more important than everything else and
that is the problem.

Have a good day.

Bye,
Jean-Louis
