Questions answered in these manuals
What equipment is required to calibrate the 9500B Oscilloscope Calibrator?
A verified Model 9500B Mainframe, a high-bandwidth sampling oscilloscope with bandwidth ≥6GHz (≥20GHz for 9550 and 9560), a 50e SMA–SMA co-axial ‘Trigger’ cable, and possibly a high-bandwidth coaxial attenuator.

How do you calibrate the 25ps edge risetime of the 9550?
Connect the 9550 to a high-bandwidth oscilloscope, set the oscilloscope to average 256 samples, and measure the rising and falling edge transition times using the 9500B’s 25ps FAST Edge function. Calculate the average of 8 measurements and use the provided formula to determine the calibrated edge rise time.
