Self-calibration
Agilent B2900 provides the self-calibration function to maintain the measurement
performance. If the environmental temperature changes 3 C or more, perform the
self-calibration. This is effective for the accurate measurements by minimizing the
effect of thermal drift. The self-calibration must be performed after warming-up of
60 minutes. Before performing the self-calibration, turn the channel output off and
disconnect test leads and cables from the terminals.
