8588A vs. 8508A Reference Multimeter: an Expert’s Comparison
When I show calibration professionals the capabilities of our newest long-scale digital multimeter, the thing they’re most excited about is how much it can do in one box. The new 8588A Reference Multimeter takes everything that the 8508A can do and improves upon it, while adding capabilities that were not available before. “What’s going to most interest many people is the 8588A’s ability to digitize” I think what’s going to most interest many people is the 8588A’s ability to digitize. Fluke...

Saving Lone Lake
This is a story about how a community comes together to save a lake. Lone Lake is a 90.3 acre lake on the south end of Whidbey Island, Washington. Popular with boaters, swimmers and trout fisherman and ringed by homes, in 1996-2003 it was invaded by waterweeds that reduced access and interfered with the fish. Residents and local environmental organizations tried to fix the problem by alternately applying herbicides to kill the plants and stocking grass carp to eat them. Algae bloom on Lone...

Dry-Block Calibrators vs. Temperature Baths: Choosing the Right One for You
Dry-block calibrators vs. temperature baths: (left) portable temperature bath, (middle) hand-held dry-block calibrator, (right) standard temperature bath Temperature sensors are typically calibrated by placing them in a stable temperature source and comparing their output to the output of a calibrated reference. Two common sources are dry-block calibrators and temperature baths, but which is right for you? Let’s start our dry-block calibrator vs. temperature bath analysis by defining each....

Top 5 sources of RF calibration error
RF and microwave calibration is one of the most complex areas of metrology, with many opportunities for human and measurement errors. Here are the top 5 sources of error: Mismatch errors. Mismatch errors are one of the most significant contributors to errors and uncertainties in RF and microwave calibration. Mismatch error depends on the source and load match. The quality of the source and load match contributes to the mismatch error. Avoid introducing excessive mismatches by using worn or...

How to clean an infrared calibrator target
The best/proper method to clean your infrared calibrator target The black body paint on the target of your infrared calibrator is very delicate. To remove the dust or debris from the paint, the only thing you can do is use compressed dry air. The dry air must have no oil and no water in the line or hose. Use a filter on an air hose to remove the oil and an air dryer to remove the water. Have the compressed air set to about 100 psi. Some items like compressed air in a can will contain a...
