content: Excellent event at Keysight today. Unfortunately video and pics were not allowed but the setups were very interesting indeed. I must have seen thirty 3458a!What impressed me most were the people, there was some real passion and obvious pride in the work.It was interesting to get an insight into Keysight's real business and the scale of the Calibration operation alone was amazing. The event today was targeted at the Aerospace and Defense industries primarily.

content: But the real question is could you bring your own multimeter to check against one of those HP 3458A ?

content: Quote from: HighVoltage on September 14, 2017, 04:51:21 pmThank you!I can be an extremely observant person, at times. There is a little white sticker towards the top, kind of off right of center. It says 'LES180' and is the asset tag of ENILABS.

content: The event included four slideshow presentations (as mentioned in the first post):* Keysight Services - Mitigating Risk* Challenges Supporting Non-Keysight Products* MmWave Challenges and Calibration* Keysight Services - What is NextThe files are too big to upload here, so I used a free upload website. If you have a better host, I encourage you to mirror the files.https://sabercathost.com/9d0l/Challenges_Supporting_NonKeysight_Products.pdfhttps://sabercathost.com/9d0i/Keysight_Services_What_is_Next.pdfhttps://sabercathost.com/9d0j/Keysight_Services_Mitigating_Risk.pdfhttps://sabercathost.com/9d0k/MmWave_Challenges_and_Calibration_El_Segundo_Open_House_Rev_Final_4-3.pdf
