Meatest 9010 User Manual 6
1. Introduction
Multifunction calibrator 9010 is designed as universal calibration tool for electrical calibration
laboratories, covering most of their workload like multimeters, clamp meters, ohm meters, power meters
and power analysers, energy meters, transducers, insulation testers, process meters, scopes and many
others. High load capacity of voltage output (up to 0 mA) allows for calibration of high-consumption
analogue meters. Installed harmonic and non-harmonic shape signals allow for testing meter sensitivity
to distorted signals by a signal with various crest factor.
Advancing from previous M14x calibrator series, 9010 can now calibrate even 400 MHz scopes, 1. kV
insulation testers and 1 MW power meters. On the other hand we kept all the popular functions including
complete transducer and external sensor calibration (strain gauge, pressure, torsion, force, etc.) using
built-in multimeter, automatic uncertainty calculation, remote control and easy recalibration.
Front panel overview
Main control segments of the calibrator (Figure 3) are:

- Cursor keys and rotary button. Push  buttons or turn rotary knob to increment/decrement
selected digit by one. Move through parameter digits using ⊳  buttons or push the rotary knob
to switch to digit selection mode, rotate to a new digit and confirm with another push.
- Softkeys. Values of most parameters can be also changed by softkeys x10 and :10, which change
value by order of magnitude and +/- softkey which switches polarity.
Figure 9 Main and auxiliary parameters
Described methods change the main parameter by default. If there are any other parameters on display,
you can switch between them using  and  select buttons. Picture above shows AC voltage function
with main value 10 V
rms
and two auxiliary parameters: signal shape and frequency. Both auxiliary
parameters have their dedicated softkey for fast access.
Additional settings are available under setup buttons SOURCE and METER. These buttons are shortcuts
to relevant sections of Device menu. See chapter 3.2 or SETUP subchapters in chapter 4 for more details.
Signal output
Calibrator output can be turned on by pushing OPER button. STBY button turns output off. Output turns
off automatically on calibrator startup and function switch. Output state is indicated by LED light in

waveforms is limited from 10 mV to 200 V and frequency range from 40 Hz to 1 kHz. Following
waveforms are implemented:
- Limit. Sine sinusoidal with defined distortion 13. 22 %
- Square squarewave symmetrical
- Triangle symmetrical
- Ramp Up
- Ramp Down
- Harmonic adjustable harmonic products
To select requested waveform push the soft key SHAPE, highlight requested item using softkeys ,
cursor keys or rotary button and confirm with ENTER.

4.1.3. Harmonic
Calibrator has unique feature of creation by customer defined output AC signal. Definition on the signal
is based on setting of amplitude and phase shift of harmonic products related to basic, fundamental
frequency. Number of harmonic products is limited to 0 but maximum frequency of harmonic product
cannot exceed kHz. Amplitude of individual harmonic products cannot be higher than 10 % of
amplitude of fundament signal.
Harmonic product editing
1. Push the key SELECT to make active window Harmonic.
2. Push the EDIT soft key. Table with list of harmonic products appears. Set amplitude and phase
of requested harmonic product. Use key SELECT to move active window between Amplitude
and Phase.
3. When all harmonic products are set push soft key EXIT to return back to basic screen. Distortion
of sine wave signal has been adjusted.
Figure 14 Harmonic products setting
To reset all harmonic products setting use soft key CLEAR ALL. All higher harmonic products are set
to zero except fundamental component. When non-zero distortion is set, star sign will appear in window
Harmonic ahead Sine label.
To move between pages of harmonic products use soft keys PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN.
Signal preview
The formed signal can be displayed either in frequency or time domain.
Push the soft key Bar to display relative level of harmonic products setting in frequency domain.
Fundamental component is displayed in yellow, higher harmonics in red colour.
Push the soft key PREWIEV to see the signal waveform in time domain.

Preset function
Any adjusted signal can be stored in the calibrator memory for later use. Use the NEW soft key to create
a new signal name. Use rotary button to select individual signs (numbers or letters) and confirm with
SAVE when finished.
Any already saved waveform can be loaded using soft key LOAD or deleted using soft key DELETE.

4.1.4. Passive and Active Output
DC Voltage function has two kind of output on ranges 20 mV and 200 mV. Ranges 2 V, 20 V, 280 V
and 1000 V don’t have passive output.
Active output is formed by electronic amplifier. The output offers higher load current up to mA
however with a little bit worse uncertainty. Passive mode is formed by resistance divider with output
resistance 0 Ω. Output signal is less noisy and with better uncertainty however maximal output current
is given by its output impedance. See specification for detailed differences.
Push SELECT key until field Output mode is not activated. Change setting from Active to Passive using
soft key arrow keys, soft key List or rotary knob.
