DC Mode Calibration Procedure
Perform this procedure to calibrate the DMM through its entire range of DC
measurements. This procedure is separated into phases to permit calibration of
all ranges, but should be run in its entirety. Perform the following steps to
calibrate the DMM in DC mode:
This part of the procedure calibrates the DMM for 0.03 VDC with 10 MW
impedance.
1. Program the VX4101A as follows:
conf:dc .03
2. Program the VX4101A as follows:
inp:imp 10e6; init
3. Apply 0.0 VDC ±100 nVDC
4. Program the VX4101A as follows:
cal:val 0
5. Apply 0.029 VDC±1.9 mVDC
6. Program the VX4101A as follows:
cal:val .029
This part of the procedure calibrates the DMM for 0.3 VDC with 10 MW
impedance.
7. Program the VX4101A as follows:
