What is an oscilloscope used for?
An oscilloscope is an electronic test instrument that allows users to observe and analyse varying electronic voltages over time. It is essential for diagnosing and fixing faults in electronic equipment and is widely used in healthcare, education, electrical engineering, technology, telecommunications, research, and automotive manufacturing.
Why is regular calibration of oscilloscopes important?
Oscilloscopes can become inaccurate due to frequent use, accidental damage, or incorrect handling, leading to unreliable measurements. Regular calibration, at least once a year, ensures accurate performance and compliance with industry standards.
What types of oscilloscopes can Calibrationhouse calibrate?
Calibrationhouse provides oscilloscope calibration services for a wide range of makes and models, with capabilities up to 1GHz frequency. Both portable and bench-top oscilloscopes can be calibrated, making our service suitable for laboratory, field, and industrial applications.
Can Calibrationhouse calibrate oscilloscopes on-site?
Yes, on-site calibration is available across the UK, which is particularly beneficial for large bench-top oscilloscopes that may be costly or difficult to transport. Customers outside the UK can send their equipment to our County Durham laboratory for calibration.
For customers in the United States, oscilloscope calibration is available at our Tampa facility, ensuring compliance with BSI ISO9001-certified standards.
What does oscilloscope calibration include?
Calibrationhouse ensures that all oscilloscope calibrations include certification traceable to national standards, competitive pricing, fast turnaround times, and annual calibration reminders to help customers maintain compliance and instrument reliability.
