Abstract
An instrument including a device, a transducer and a calibration module is disclosed. The device produces a reference time and/or a reference frequency. The transducer converts the reference time and/or the reference frequency to a reference signal. The calibration module adjusts an output signal generated by the instrument and/or a result of a measurement taken by the instrument, based on the reference signal. A system including the instrument and a method of calibrating the instrument are also disclosed.
