Make sure you have read “DMM Test Considerations" on page 53.
2 Set the AC VOLTS function and the 3 Hz input filter. With the slow
filter selected, each measurement takes 7 seconds to complete.
3 Select each range in the order shown below. Provide the indicated input
voltage and frequency. Compare measurement results to the appropriate
test limits shown in the table. (Be certain to allow for appropriate
source settling.)
[1] For this test, isolate the calibrator’s output from earth ground to prevent ground noise affecting the
reading.
[2] Some calibrators may have difficulty driving the internal DMM and cable load at this V-Hz output. Use
short, low capacitance cable to reduce calibration loading. Verification can be performed at >195 Vrms.
New test limits can be computed from the accuracy specification shown in the data sheet for the actual test
conditions used.
