ADC Calibration
ADC (analog to digital converter) calibration aligns the different resolutions available
from the Multimeter’s analog to digital converter, so that there are no significant
differences in readings when changing resolutions with a constant input value. It is
recommended that
ADC CAL is only performed if performance verification indicates
significant resolution differences. If required, it is recommended that ADC calibration is
performed before any other calibrations.
No external equipment or signals are required to perform ADC calibration.
Procedure
1. Ensure that no signals are present on the Multimeter’s inputs. The Multimeter may be
left connected to the calibrator as shown above provided the calibrator output is set to
STANDBY.
2. On the Multimeter, Press
CAL to enter the CALIBRATION menu, and select SPCL.
3. Select
Adc to initiate the calibration operation, which will take approximately 3
minutes to complete.
Calibration is complete when the
Busy legend goes out.
DC Voltage Calibration
XW Warning
The Calibrator can deliver a lethal electric shock.
To avoid electric shock when performing the following
calibration procedures:
Never touch any lead or terminal unless you are absolutely
certain that no dangerous voltage is present.
Make sure that signal leads are in a safe condition before you
handle them in any way.
Initial Setup
1. Press the
DCV key, select the 200 mV range.
2. Press the
CONFIG key. Select Filt.
3. In calibration mode the resolution defaults to
RESL7 in the DCV function. It is
recommended that this resolution is used for calibration of all DCV ranges.
4. Reselect
DCV.
5. Confirm that the Multimeter is configured for internal guard (External Guard is
deselected) by checking that the
Ext Grd legend does not appear on the left-hand
display.
6. Ensure that the calibrator output is set to
STANDBY and configured for Internal
Guard (
EXT GRD is deselected).
7. Connect the Calibrator to the Multimeter as shown above.
