Introduction
This example application demonstrates how to use a DMM6500 to make high-accuracy DC voltage
measurements.
This type of test is often done in metrology laboratories where high accuracy is required for calibration
and verification.
Equipment required
• One DMM6500
• One computer set up for communication with the instrument
• Two insulated banana cables
• One device or component to be tested
Device connections
This example uses the DMM6500 to measure DC voltage using either the front or rear input terminals.
Both the front and rear-panel input terminals are safety banana jacks.
You must use either the front or the rear terminals. You cannot mix the front and rear connections.
Make sure that the front-panel TERMINALS switch is set to the terminals you are using. The light for
FRONT or REAR indicates which terminals are being used.
