SECTION I IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION 1. Test Instrument Identification. This bulletin provides instructions for the calibration of Oscilloscope, Hewlett-Packard Models 120A, 120AR, 120B, and 120BR. The manufacturer's instruction manuals were used as the prime data source in compiling these instructions. The oscilloscope will be referred to as the "TI" (test instrument) throughout this bulletin. a. Model Variations. Variations among models are described in text. b. Time and Technique. The time required for this calibration is approximately 4 hours using the dc and low frequency technique. 2. Calibration Data Card, DA Form 2416 a. Forms, records, and reports required for calibration personnel at all levels are prescribed by TM 38-750. DA Form 2416 must be annotated in accordance with TM 38-750 for each calibration performed. b. Adjustments to be reported on DA Form 2416 are designated (R) at the end of the sentence in which they appear. When adjustments are in tables, the (R) will follow the designated adjustment. Report only those adjustments made and designated with (R). 2
