Gain Adjustment
The multimeter stores a single new gain correction constant each time
this procedure is followed. The gain constant is computed from the
calibration value entered for the calibration command and from
measurements made automatically during the adjustment procedure.
Most measuring functions and ranges have gain adjustment procedures.
Only the 100 M
range and the ac current, continuity, and diode test
functions do not have gain calibration procedures. The gain calibration
value may be entered through the front panel menu or over the remote
interface. See example 2 in chapter 3, “Menu Tutorial,” starting on
page 55, for an example of how to enter calibration values.
Adjustments for each function should be performed ONLY in the order shown
in the performance verification table. See “Performance Verification Tests”
earlier in this chapter for the tables used for gain adjustments.
Gain Adjustment Considerations
The zero adjustment procedure must have been recently performed
prior to beginning any gain adjustment procedures.
The optional 10 Vdc, 500 Vdc, and 10 mA calibrations should be
performed only after servicing the multimeter’s a-to-d converter or
after replacing network
U101 or calibration RAM U505. Refer to the
Optional Gain Calibration Procedures” section starting on page 82
for further details.
When performing a 4-wire ohms gain adjustment, a new gain
correction constant is also stored for the corresponding 2-wire ohms
measurement range. If desired, the 2-wire gain can be adjusted
separately after the 4-wire ohms gain calibration is completed.
AC voltage gain calibration relies on a previous calibration of the dc
voltage function. Failure to do so can cause significant calibration errors.
Never turn off the multimeter during a Gain Adjustment. This may
cause calibration memory for the present function to be lost.
