4.4 Fluke 5820A
Oscilloscope Calibrator
Recent field inquiries within the activity regarding 5820A relay problems has
brought about a need for end users to run the relay exercising program (WORK RF
RELAY) on a weekly basis. This embedded program is accessed through the front panel
on the 5820A. This ensures that relay accessed areas that you might not utilize in your
day-to-day operations are still being utilized and "exercised". This might go a long way
in preventing problems when the instrument goes in for its yearly certification, as well
as avoid end user problems during its calibration cycle use. Press SETUP, (Blue Key)
UTILITY FUNCTIONS, (Blue Key) SELF TESTS, and finally (Blue Key) WORK RF
RELAYS. It takes less than a minute to run.

4.5 DM224 Digital Multimeter Calibration
If your Polywell Controller has recently been updated to Win XP and there is a
problem reinstalling the DM224 Maintenance Disk Rev. 2.1 onto your controller, you
will no longer be able to install this disk using the Disk installation menu because of a
Win 2000 and Win XP compatibility issue. If you go to the USATA TB folder for the
DM224, TB 9-6625-2326-35, you will find a new readme.txt file with new installation
instructions along with a new DM224 Win XP driver. By following these instructions,
we hope to have you up and running again in being able to calibrate the DM224
PCMCIA card on your controllers in Win XP. The PM plans on issuing a follow-up CD
to address the Win 2000/Win XP issues.

The M41 PATS is to be considered as used in personal safety and the calibration
