BEAMEX Calibration White Paper critical components related to accuracy and long-term stability. Reliability and stability A calibrator like the Beamex MC6 contains an extensive number of various components. Once all of the components have been received in house, the most critical of them are aged and temperature cycled according to R&D specifications. Thereafter, the components are soldered to the printed circuit boards. Then various tests are performed to verify the proper operation of the boards. Aging and thermal cycling improves the reliability and long-term stability of the device. The aging...
