The Fluke 5800A Oscilloscope Calibrator is a precision calibration source designed to verify and calibrate the performance of oscilloscopes across voltage, time, frequency, and impedance parameters. The instrument provides discrete calibration functions including DC and square wave voltage outputs, edge signals for rise time verification, leveled sine waves for bandwidth measurement, time markers for timebase calibration, wave and pulse generators, and oscilloscope input impedance and capacitance measurement capabilities.

Oscilloscope calibrators are used by metrology laboratories, calibration service providers, and instrument manufacturers to verify oscilloscope performance against published specifications. The 5800A supports calibration of oscilloscope voltage accuracy, timebase accuracy, bandwidth and flatness, rise time response, input impedance, and trigger functionality. The included TV trigger signal output with selectable NTSC, SECAM, and PAL-M frame formats supports calibration of oscilloscopes used in broadcast and video applications.

## Brand Heritage

Fluke Corporation, headquartered in Everett, Washington, has manufactured precision electronic test instruments since 1948. Fluke was acquired by Danaher Corporation in 1998 and was subsequently transferred to Fortive Corporation when Danaher spun off its industrial businesses in 2016. The Fluke brand and product lines have remained continuous through these corporate transitions, with calibration and metrology products continuing under the established Fluke name.

**Important:** Designed to operate in Standard Laboratory environments where the Electromagnetic environment is highly controlled. If used in areas with Electromagnetic fields greater than 1 V/m, there could be errors in output values.**Important:** The dc offset plus the wave signal must not exceed 30V rms (Wave Generator).**Important:** Pulse width not to exceed 40% of period (Pulse Generator).**Important:** Short-term Amplitude Stability of ≤1% applies within one hour after reference amplitude setting, provided temperature varies no more than ±5°C.**Important:** The Overload Measurement Function applies dc or ac (1 kHz square wave) power into the 50Ω oscilloscope input and monitors the current. In order to prevent oscilloscope front end damage, a limited amount of energy is applied by a user-settable time limit.Recommended pairing: the 5800A/TDP Tunnel Diode Pulser accessory provides a square wave at 100 Hz to 100 kHz with variable amplitude of 60V to 100V p-p for tunnel diode pulse drive applications listed in the datasheet's edge function specifications.
