METROLOGY ABOUT CONRES LAB All reconditioned test equipment units are shipped from the ConRes state-ofthe-art, ISO registered metrology lab, fully calibrated to the manufacturer s settings. All products are maintained under strict NIST-traceable schedules. You can rest assured that your used purchase or rental will work as a brand new unit. Standards ConRes sets their standards with automated software supplied by their manufacturers. It s essential that a process is in place to verify that software is doing what it is supposed to do; following and checking all parameters of the instruments, ensuring that specifications are met, and that your test results are equal to manufacturers test results. The general rule of thumb for standards with proper accuracy is a 4:1 ratio, meaning the standards must be 4x as accurate as the piece being calibrated. ConRes sends their standards to the manufacturers to calibrate to their original specifications. The manufacturers supply test data on the actual results and the test data is used as ConRes source of traceability. Phase Noise Test Station The phase noise test station measures the purity of the signal of a signal generator, which is truly important and measures just one specific part of a calibration. Due to the high speed demands of telecommunications, the purity of the signal is extremely important. You can rest assured that the phase noise system is being used properly to ensure that the specifications of the manufacturer are met. DC Low Frequency Power Monitoring Station To calibrate DC power supplies, AC power supplies, digital voltage meters, low frequency generators, and power monitoring equipment, ConRes has a DC low frequency power monitoring station. Radio Frequency Bench The ConRes RF bench station is capable of calibrating test equipment up to frequencies of 50 GHz. This automated station calibrates via computer controlled systems. Automation not only eliminates human error when making measurements but also documents the test results. Mid-Frequency Test Bench ConRes ships a large number of oscilloscopes, so having more than one scope station is crucial. This bench tests scopes and medium range spectrum analyzers up to 26.5 GHz. Oscilloscope Automated Calibration Station This automated station calibrates a scope in 1-1.5 hours (with full test data), whereas a scope calibration used to take 6-8 hours manually. ISO 9001:2008 Registered ConRes is ISO 9001:2008 registered, a standard which provides the framework for taking a systematic approach to consistent quality that satisfies customers expectations.the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) employs a system of Technical Committees, Sub-committees and Working Groups to develop International Standards. ConRes has been ISO-registered since 1997 and maintains a regular audit schedule to maximize quality and ensure customer satisfaction. I know the pressures of a lot of calibration labs; to get the product out the door and make money. Not all calibrations at all cal stations are equal. I take pride in doing the job properly, if it can t be done properly, we re not going to ship it. Terry Lipold, ConRes Metrology Manager TestEquipment.conres.com
