How often should I send in my oscilloscope for calibration?
Answer
The recommended calibration interval for most Keysight oscilloscopes is 12 months. However, you will need to evaluate your testing environment and accuracy requirements to determine if the standard cal interval suits your specific needs.
There are many factors that can impact the long-term accuracy of test equipment. Changes in temperature, excessive humidity, dust, and vibration can negatively impact the accuracy of an instrument and shorten its calibration cycle. For additional information please consult your instrument's Service Guide or contact your local Keysight service center.
