CALIBRATOR
Introduction
The Calibrator circuit produces a square-wave output
signal
with accurate voltage and
current amplitudes. This
output is available
as
both
a
voltage and
a
current at the
CALIBRATOR current loop on the instrument front panel.
Figure
3-12
shows a detailed block diagram of the
Calibrator circuit.
Multivibrator
Transistors Q4182 and Q4196 and associated circuitry
are configured as an astable multivibrator. The basic
frequency of the multivibrator
is
approximately I kilohertz
and
is
primarily determined
by
the resistance and
capacitance of C4187, R4186, R4191, R4184, and
R4185.
Transistors Q4182 and Q4196 alternately conduct,
producing a square-wave output signal. This output is
taken from the collector
of
Q4196.
