The Time Electronics 5045 Oscilloscope Calibrator provides a wide range of outputs for amplitude, frequency, period, and bandwidth calibration. It is designed for calibration laboratories and service departments requiring precise verification of oscilloscope performance .

Amplitude calibration is achieved with DC signal or 1 kHz square-wave outputs ranging from 1 mV to 220 V (2 V max for 50 ohm loads). Deviation control of ±9.99% allows fine adjustment of amplitude and direct read-out of error. A precise square-wave output provides fast rise time of less than 300 ps, enabling bandwidth testing up to 600 MHz .

Accurate frequencies are generated from a temperature-controlled quartz crystal oscillator with timing accuracy of 0.1 ppm, suitable for most oscilloscopes and timer counters. Time markers range from 10 s to 10 ns, and a 10 MHz reference input is available for external synchronization .

The 5045 is supplied with Windows-based virtual control interface software, allowing users to control the instrument via laptop or PC. An optional 2.2 GHz sweep generator is available for extended frequency requirements. EasyCal software is available as an option to enable automated testing and calibration management, with front panel or PC control for maximum flexibility .
