I have a well stocked test bench at home containing a range of analog,
digital and RF test equipment as I am sure most of you also do.

Well the question I have is how do you handle the calibration of your
equipment? What do you use for calibration standards for resistance,
voltage, current and frequency?

Links to recommended circuits, pictures and sources would be
appreciated.

Since this is a need for anyone who has test equipment, I hope to see
a good discussion on this subject.

Thanks

Wavetek and Fluke both make nice all-in-one calibrators for voltmeters and
scopes,they do V,I,R,timing and bandwidth checks.Not cheap,though.
There's plenty of older,used cal standards on the market,too.
Getting them certified may be a problem due to their age.

For F-counters,you need a WWV or GPS-based receiver.

high-end stuff,you send out to a lab.
(consider them your "primary standards")

A warning;calibration procedures of some TEK gear may be written to use
their recommended list of standards,and difficult or impossible to do fully
with substitutes.
Especially their video test gear.
