Hi:

A friend that does calibration and repair of electronic equipment recently gave a paper showing that when a certain model number of HP equipment has it's oscillator calibrated in the normal way by turning the equipment over on it's side, a noticeable error due to gravity is introduced.

He now does the calibration with the equipment extended out from a rack from underneath using an automotive creeper. So that gravity is the same for the calibration as for operation.

Have Fun,
