The
following
article
provides
some
helpful hints for
use
of the Jl6.

infomation

help the
technician achieve
more

and

Operating
Reca.endations
Many
engineering
and
manufacturing
areas are using
Tek
Jl6
photometers
for
measuring
CRT
luminance
and
setting color balance of white
fields.
I
have
observed several
problems
which
seem
to
reoccur.
The
following are
some
reconnendations regarding the
correct or
at
least
improved
techniques for
making
these
measurements:

Zerofng--This fs
undoubtedly
the
greatest single
cause
of errors with
the Jl6
and
can
occur with
any
of the
probes.
Due
to variations in silicon
input bias current, the zero should
always
be
rechecked
when
changing
probes
and
when
the photo-diode
temperature changes.
This

most
noticeable

when
plugged
into the top of the
Jl6.
Also
when
using the r.t,
power
supply, continuous
operation or
at
least
1/2 to 1
hour
wamup
is
best to
minimize
zero
drift
on
the
most
sensitive ranges.
The
Jl6
uses
a
mono-polar
DVM
circuit
which
will
still
read
000
even
when
the zero
is
offset in a negative
direction.
This
has
the appearance of
non-linearity especially
at
low
light
levels.
Also
the
same
reading will
not
be
obtained
when
changing
to the
next range.
To
let
the operator
know
that
it
fs incorrectly zeroed, the
minus
sign fs
wired
to indicate that
the zero fs
offset
in a negative
direction.
To
correctly zero the
Jl6,
cover the sensor
and
adjust the zero
adjustment
on
the
O.lX
range
until the
minus
sign
just
flickers
on
and
off.
An
alternate aethod fs to adjust the
zero until a reading of typically 5
fn

last
place dfgft fs obtained.
This
reading fs
checked
often
when
using the
most
sensitive ranges.
If
the Jl6 zeros correctly

range
but fs incorrect
on
the
XlOOO
range,

The
zero procedure fs

when
using the
J6523

probe--enough
