What is the Difference Between Factory-Verified & OEM Compliant Calibration from Tektronix?
In the precision-driven world of calibration, understanding the nuances between different types of services is crucial for ensuring your instruments perform optimally. Tektronix, a leader in calibration technology, offers two distinct calibration services: Factory-Verified Calibration and OEM Compliant Calibration. While both services are designed to maintain the accuracy and reliability of your equipment, they cater to different needs and offer unique benefits. Let's delve into the differences and help you decide which service best suits your requirements.
Factory-Verified Calibration: The Extra Mile for Peace of Mind
Factory-Verified Calibration is designed for those who demand the highest level of assurance in their instrument's performance. This comprehensive service covers all calibration points recommended by Tektronix and follows our meticulous procedures to ensure your equipment meets stringent accuracy standards.
However, Factory-Verified Calibration goes beyond standard calibration practices. As Mike, one of our Calibration Service Engineers, explains, "It includes instrument adjustments, preventative maintenance checks across the full range of instrument operation, firmware and software updates, and a thorough cleaning process." This holistic approach not only certifies that your instrument is calibrated but also optimizes its performance, extends its lifespan, and ensures it operates reliably under all conditions.
The added value of Factory-Verified Calibration lies in its attention to detail. From fine-tuning instruments for peak performance to conducting preventative maintenance checks and updating software, this service is all about providing peace of mind and ensuring continued proper operation and reliability.
OEM Compliant Calibration: Adhering to Standards
OEM Compliant Calibration, on the other hand, focuses on meeting the calibration points and procedures recommended by Tektronix. This service is tailored for those who require their instruments to be calibrated in accordance with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards. Sarah, Tektronix's Quality Calibration Manager, emphasizes that "Both cover calibration points recommended by Tektronix and follow our procedures," ensuring that your equipment remains accurate and dependable.
While OEM Compliant Calibration ensures your instruments adhere to Tektronix's recommended standards, it does not include the additional services provided in the Factory-Verified Calibration. This option is ideal for those looking for a straightforward calibration service that maintains the essential performance of their instruments.
Choosing the Right Service for Your Needs
Deciding between Factory-Verified and OEM Compliant Calibration ultimately depends on your specific needs and requirements. If you're seeking the highest level of assurance, with additional maintenance and updates to keep your instrument in top condition, Factory-Verified Calibration is the choice for you. It's particularly beneficial for critical applications where precision and reliability are paramount.
For those who require a straightforward calibration to maintain their instrument's performance according to Tektronix's recommendations, OEM Compliant Calibration offers a cost-effective solution that keeps your equipment compliant and operational.
