Model 6127B Programmable Oscilloscope Calibrator
Product Summary
The BLI 6127B is an accurate and simple way to calibrate a wide variety of
oscilloscopes from low frequency units to instruments bandwidths over 1 GHz. The 6127B
provides a variety of signals of precise voltage, current, timing and waveshape. The 6127B
can be operated manually or automatically using the IEEE-488 interface and Ballantines
automated software SCOPE-CAL™. Time saving
controls
include computation of percent deviation, repeat step increment, self checking and warning
of invalid entries.
Ballantine has over 300 procedures for many popular scopes on the market. For
