Keysight 34450A Help
« on: May 02, 2024, 12:43:02 pm »
Hello all. I'm looking for some help on a Keysight 34450A. All calibration tests pass except for 100mV AC @ 100kHz. It reads 94.837. The Low limit is 96.700 and the high is 103.3. I tried performing the internal calibration and entering the new corrected reading for this test point and the unit rejects it and fails. I flashed the firmware to the latest version available ( 01.03-01.02). I'm not sure what else to do here. Can anyone give me some advice as to what to look at next? Thanks!

Are you sure your source voltage is correct?
Have you checked with another DMM?

I had the 34450A connected to our Fluke 5500A during the internal cal/adjustment procedure.

Is the ACmV reading stable?
What about different (lower) frequencies. What about linearity - how is it at 25, 50, 75mV; still -5.16% ?

We don't have a service manual or schematic to troubleshoot the ACmV path, and it's a custom DMM IC. Right to repair nah.
The relays are kinda cheap so try working them, I don't think they have a lot of palladium lol. But I think the cmos muxes are doing the range switching work. If it was grossly overloaded on ACmV the H/W could be damaged, that's why I suggest seeing if it's just a span problem or more.

There are two firmware loads - CPU for the main and MCU for the DMM portion and not sure if any F/W update covers both processors.
