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).
