Zero Offset Verification
This test is used to check the zero offset performance of the instrument.
Verification checks are only performed for those functions and ranges with
unique offset calibration constants. Measurements are checked for each
function and range as described in the procedure on the next page.
Zero Offset Verification Test
1 Connect the Shorting Plug to the HI and LO input terminals. (see “Input
Connections” on page 67). Leave the current inputs open.
2 Select each function and range in the order shown in the table below.
Make a measurement and observe the result. Compare measurement
results to the appropriate test limits shown in the table below (table
continued on thefollowing page).
NOTE
Note that resistance measurements use the Null math function (Null reading taken with
test leads connected together) to eliminate test lead resistance.
