TSP #71 - Teardown, Repair & Calibration of a Valhalla 2701C Precision DC Voltage Standard

In this episode Shahriar examines a faulty Valhalla 2701C Programmable Precision DC Reference instrument. Valhalla Scientific’s 2701C Programmable Precision DC Voltage Calibrator delivers ultra-precision, ultra-stable DC voltage from 100 nanovolts to 1200 volts. This unit does not have a working front-panel LCD screen. Luckily, that problem is resolved very quickly. The internal build and operation of the unit is briefly examined and the instrument is calibrated using a Keithley DMM7510 7.5-digit multimeter. It is possible to upgrade this unit to a more stable and accurate reference voltage generator or to add the reference current capability to it. The Signal Path Blog http://www.TheSignalPath.com
