Oscilloscope Calibration Services

Micro Precision is an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited oscilloscope calibration provider delivering NIST-traceable results through a global network of 50+ calibration laboratories. We calibrate a variety of oscilloscope types for aerospace, defense, medical device, electronics, and manufacturing organizations, returning every instrument with a calibration certificate that supports audit readiness and regulatory compliance.

Every oscilloscope service is performed by trained metrologists following our accredited quality management system. Each calibrated instrument is returned with a formal calibration certificate confirming measurement traceability and compliance. Whether you maintain a single oscilloscope or a large instrument fleet, Micro Precision provides the documentation and accuracy your quality program requires.

Oscilloscopes drift over time through normal use, temperature cycling, and component aging, producing waveform measurements that appear plausible but fall outside specified accuracy. Inaccurate voltage readings and timing errors lead to faulty electronics diagnostics, flawed product validation, and compliance failures. ANSI/NCSL Z540.3 and ISO 10012 require calibrated measuring instruments at documented intervals within quality management systems.

For quality managers and compliance officers, a current calibration record confirms that every oscilloscope in the lab or field has verified performance before its readings are used to make design or safety decisions. Medical device, aerospace, and defense quality programs require traceable calibration documentation. An oscilloscope without a current certificate creates an audit gap that can delay product release or trigger a nonconformance.

Regular oscilloscope calibration protects measurement integrity, preserves ISO certification status, and keeps waveform data reliable. Calibration intervals should follow manufacturer recommendations, organizational quality requirements, or applicable regulatory standards, applying whichever interval is most demanding for your application.

Micro Precision follows a documented calibration procedure for every oscilloscope service. Each instrument is received, inspected, tested against NIST-traceable reference standards across its key measurement parameters, adjusted if needed, and returned with a calibration certificate confirming traceability and compliance. Every step follows our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited quality management system.

1. Receive and Inspect — Log the instrument details upon arrival and assess its condition and configuration before calibration begins.
2. Performance Testing — Test the oscilloscope’s measurement parameters against NIST-traceable reference standards to determine its current performance status.
3. Adjustment — Restore any out-of-tolerance measurements to within acceptable limits per manufacturer specifications.
4. Certification — Issue a calibration certificate documenting measurement results, as-found and as-left data, and a NIST traceability statement.
5. Return — Return the calibrated oscilloscope with its certificate and a next-calibration-due label.

Micro Precision offers in-lab and on-site oscilloscope calibration to fit your operational requirements. Both options deliver ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited results with NIST-traceable certificates.

In-lab calibration: Ship your oscilloscopes to one of our 50+ accredited calibration laboratories for service under controlled conditions. Our labs accept both individual instruments and large-volume fleet orders, with standard and rush turnaround options available.

On-site calibration: When instruments cannot be removed from your facility, our field technicians bring NIST-traceable reference standards directly to your location. On-site service minimizes operational downtime and supports continuous compliance for rack-mounted or fixed oscilloscopes.

Faster turnaround service is available for time-sensitive calibration needs. Contact Micro Precision to confirm availability and lead time for your location.

Micro Precision calibrates a variety of oscilloscope types used across research, manufacturing, field service, and laboratory environments. Whether you need calibration for one instrument or a fleet across multiple sites, our labs are equipped to handle major models and brands.

Oscilloscope types we calibrate:

• Analog oscilloscopes
• Digital storage oscilloscopes (DSOs)
• Mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSOs)
• Handheld oscilloscopes
• PC-based oscilloscopes
• High-bandwidth oscilloscopes

Regardless of type, each oscilloscope is assessed across its key measurement parameters, including voltage accuracy, time-base accuracy, bandwidth and frequency response, and trigger sensitivity. All parameters are tested against NIST-traceable reference standards to confirm compliance with manufacturer specifications and applicable industry requirements.

Popular brands we calibrate:

• Keysight (formerly Agilent)
• Tektronix
• Fluke
• Rohde & Schwarz
• Teledyne LeCroy
• Rigol
• Yokogawa
• Pico Technology

Each unit is returned with a traceable oscilloscope calibration certificate providing documented proof of accuracy to support audit readiness and ongoing compliance. Contact us to confirm coverage for a specific model not listed above.

Micro Precision offers three oscilloscope calibration service levels to match your compliance requirements and documentation needs.
