Abstract
The first Fluke 5700 series calibrator was manufactured in the late 1980’s. The metrology and associated test point selection for calibrating the product was rigorous by any standards, then or now. However, the calibration procedure that has been in place essentially since its initial release pre-dates significant advances in hardware, such as the Fluke Calibration 792A and 5790A, as well as ISO 17025, and the popularization of voluntary calibration laboratory accreditation. Fluke Calibration has re-visited the selection of test points in the calibration procedure to ensure that the result of any 5700 series calibrator would clearly demonstrate that all specifications have been verified, and that traceability for all functions is ensured. This was accomplished by an event that brought together representatives from Design Engineering, Test Engineering, Service Engineering, Service Metrology and Corporate Metrology. The group evaluated each specification, considered the internal architecture of the product, and reviewed and improved upon the test points. This paper presents the test points for the 5700 series calibrators and the technical information as to why they were chosen.
