Internal Calibrator

The output of the built-in 50MHz programmable calibrator is available from a
Type-N connector located on the front, or optionally on the rear panel of the
instrument. This calibrator is used to automatically calibrate sensor offset and
linearity, and can also be used as a general purpose calibration signal source.
