FAQ

Typically, plug-in oscilloscope amplifiers like the TEK 53/54C were recommended for annual calibration, or more frequently if in heavy use or if measurements are found to be drifting.

You may notice the need for calibration if the oscilloscope readings appear inaccurate, signal amplitudes seem off, or results are not repeatable. Routine periodic calibration, as well as after repairs or extreme environmental exposure, is also recommended.
