The 5045 is a versatile, high accuracy calibrator capable of calibrating digital and analogue oscilloscopes, timer/counters, and frequency meters.

It provides a wide range of outputs for amplitude, frequency, period and bandwidth.

Amplitude calibration is achieved by a DC signal or 1 kHz square-wave, ranging from 1 mV to 220 V (2 V max for 50 ohm loads).

Deviation up to ± 9.99 % allows fine adjustment of amplitude and direct read-out of error.

Accurate frequencies are generated from a temperature controlled quartz crystal oscillator. Alternatively a 10 MHz reference input in can be used.

Timing accuracy of 0.1 ppm is suitable for most oscilloscopes and timer counters. A precise square-wave output provides a fast rise time of less than 300 ps, allowing bandwidth testing up to 600 MHz.

The 5045 is supplied with a Windows based virtual control interface software.

This allows the user to control the instrument via a laptop or PC. EasyCal software is available as an option to enable automated testing and calibration management.
