The following diagram shows the calibration harness connections in order to calibrate the GX3104 board.
Calibration harness connections in Order to Calibrate the GX3104 Board
1. Start CalEasy.exe executable.
2. Select standards instruments for Matrix and DMM.
3. Click Start.
4. Select the verification and calibration program mode: Verify, Verify and if Passed, Update Calibration Date, Verify and Calibrate If Required or Calibrate.
5. Run Program.
6. Follow the prompted harness connection messages.
The figure below displays the TS-900e-5G Calibration Adapter for the TS-9XXe-5G. The TS-9XXe-5G’s system TS-900e-5G Calibration Adapter is a PCB assembly which mounts on the system pogo pin receiver interface. The adapter provides access to all pogo pin blocks via .1 x.1 double row headers, facilitating the creation of connections between all Marvin Test Solutions installed PXI hardware and the external measurement and reference standards to be used in the calibration or verification process:
