Oscilloscope Calibration
Tescom Calibration Services calibrates analog and digital oscilloscopes at its Cedar Park, Texas lab under ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation (ANAB certificate AC-1417). We check amplitude accuracy, bandwidth up to 1.1 GHz, timebase accuracy and rise time. Service is in-lab, on-site in the Austin area, or by mail from all 50 states.
Oscilloscopes we calibrate
- Digital storage and mixed-signal oscilloscopes
- Analog oscilloscopes
- Handheld and portable scopes
- Scope meters (oscilloscope and multimeter functions)

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What bandwidth oscilloscopes can you calibrate?
Our accredited leveled sine capability runs to 1.1 GHz, so we verify bandwidth on oscilloscopes up to that frequency.
-
What does oscilloscope calibration check?
We check vertical accuracy (DC and square wave amplitude), bandwidth (leveled sine flatness), horizontal timebase accuracy (time markers), and rise time. Each channel is tested.
-
How often should an oscilloscope be calibrated?
Most oscilloscopes are calibrated every 12 months. Follow the manufacturer's recommended interval and your quality system.
-
Can you calibrate oscilloscopes on-site?
Yes. On-site oscilloscope calibration is available in Cedar Park, Austin and surrounding areas. If an instrument will get better results in our lab, we'll let you know.
