28 The Lock-in Technique The Lock-in techniqu e is u sed to detect and measure very small ac signals. A Lock-in amplifier can make accurate measurements of small sig nal s even when the signals a re obscured by noise sources whic h may b e a thousand times larger.
29 Vpsd1 = V s cos(w r t) cos(w s t+ Ø ) = 1/2 V s cos[(w r + w s )t + Ø ] + 1/2 V s cos[(w r - w s )t+ Ø ] Vpsd2 = Vs sin(w r t) cos(w s t+ Ø ) = 1/2 V s sin[(w r + w s )t+ Ø ] + 1/2 V s sin[(w .
30 In the first method, the lock - in uses the A input in a 'quasi-d ifferential' mode. Her e, the lock-in d etects the signa l as the v oltage b etween t he cent er and outer con ductors of the A input.

38 Calibration and Repair This section details calib ration of the instrument. Calibration should be done only by a qualified electronics technicia n. ********* WARNING ****** *** The calibration procedure requires adju sting the instrument with power applied and so there is a risk of personal injury or death by electric shock.
39 The CMRR is adjusted by the sin gle turn potentiometer located at A1 under the single hole at the front of the signal shield. (The shield is the aluminum box on the left side of the main board). Using a small screwdri ver, carefully adjust the potentiometer to minimize the 100 Hz output on the scope.

An important point after buying a device SRS Labs SR530 (or even before the purchase) is to read its user manual. We should do this for several simple reasons:
If you have not bought SRS Labs SR530 yet, this is a good time to familiarize yourself with the basic data on the product. First of all view first pages of the manual, you can find above. You should find there the most important technical data SRS Labs SR530 - thus you can check whether the hardware meets your expectations. When delving into next pages of the user manual, SRS Labs SR530 you will learn all the available features of the product, as well as information on its operation. The information that you get SRS Labs SR530 will certainly help you make a decision on the purchase.
If you already are a holder of SRS Labs SR530, but have not read the manual yet, you should do it for the reasons described above. You will learn then if you properly used the available features, and whether you have not made any mistakes, which can shorten the lifetime SRS Labs SR530.
