The performance verification tests use the multimeter’s specifications
listed in chapter 1, “Specifications,” starting on page 11.
Closed-Case Electronic Calibration The multimeter features
closed-case electronic calibration since there are no internal mechanical
adjustments required. The multimeter automatically prompts you for
the required full-scale input when performing a range calibration.
The multimeter measures the applied input and calculates correction
factors based upon the input reference value you specify. The new
correction factors are stored in non-volatile memory until the next
calibration adjustment is performed. (Non-volatile memory does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.)
