Frequently
Asked
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions 1. What comes standard with the 5502A calibrator? The 5502A
calibrator comes standard with all its various electrical functions.
Scope calibration capability is optional. Included is a full report of
calibration with data. An accredited report of calibration is optional.
2. What options can be installed in the 5502A? The two scope
calibration options (300 MHz and 600 MHz) are the only options for
this calibrator. These are available at time or purchase or installed
by a service center at a future date as an upgrade.
3. Is MET/CAL compatible with the 5502A? Yes MET/CAL Release
Version 8.1 is able to fully control the 5502A (Due out in Q3 2012).
4. How will existing MET/CAL users get this version of MET/CAL?
Upgrades are available through the MetSupport Gold program, or
as a purchased upgrade to an existing system.
31
Frequently Asked Questions 5. Will existing MET/CAL 5500 or 9100 procedures work with the
5502A? No, because the calibrator’s output terminal configuration is
different – and the resulting operator safety issues – a different FSC
must be used to operate the 5502A with MET/CAL (rather than use
the existing 5500A or 9100 FSCs).
6. Will the 5502A FSC use the old 5500A style syntax, or the newer
5522A style syntax? The 5502A will use the new Name Value
Instrument syntax (NVI) – giving the user better flexibility in use,
editing, and future calibrator upgrade compatibility.
The 5500A used the old FSC syntax style MET/CAL implemented the
5502A with the new structure of FSC, similar to the 5522A FSC. As a
result any 5500A procedures will need to be converted to the new
FSC syntax. This can be done by the MET/CAL user, or by a
translator process. More information on the translation process will
soon to be furnished by the MET/CAL team.
Similarly any existing 9100 procedures will need to be translated to
the new 5502A MET/CAL FSC syntax.
32
Frequently Asked Questions 7. Does the 5502A use same the commands of other Fluke 55XX
calibrators? Yes the 5502A uses the same remote control
commands as the earlier 5500A, 5520A and 5522A series
calibrators. The only difference is that it answers the remote ID
command with a response - that of being a 5502A.
8. Does the 5502A emulate the commands of Fluke/Wavetek 9100
calibrators? No the 5502A does not emulate the Fluke/Wavetek
9100 calibrator remote control commands.
9. What is the future availability of the 5500A calibrator? The
5500A will be phased out approximately 6 months after the 5502A
introduction.
10. What is the future availability of the 9100 calibrator? The 9100
will soon go on limited availability with a last time buy period soon.
11. Is 5500A upgradable to 5502A? No a 5500A is not upgradeable
to a 5502A.
33
Frequently Asked Questions 12. Is 5502A upgradable to 5522A? No a 5502A is not upgradeable to a
5522A.
13. Will the user/operator manual be available together with 5502A at
the same time? Yes, a full user’s manual will be available with the
5502A, in English language, supplied on a CD/DVD with the
instrument. The getting started manual will translated in several
languages, printed and supplied with the instrument.
14. Is the calibration procedure to calibrate the 5502A will be the
same as 5500A? The performance verification procedure for the
5502A is similar, but not identical to the 5500A procedure. There are
some range and specification differences between the two
instruments.
15. Is a service manual available for the 5502A? A detailed service
manual will be available at approximately one year after introduction.
