Re: [Amateur-repairs] Calibrating test equipment?

Hi Kelly,

 

RE "At the semiconductor manufacturer where I work my Engineering Support ….."

Interesting. I expect your instruments had a nice cushy home in terms of temp, humidity, duct corrosives, and no typical abusive people trying to test the drop-test limits of the real world. I remember in 1966,67 using Tektronix 555, and then 556 scopes with the best differential amps and probes, and often getting them re-calibrated in the lab often particularly  for common mode rejection, then wheeling them 1000- feet on a cobblestone like floor.  

But I guess you are speaking about 50, 60 years later?
