8.2.5.5 Current-source and Current-limiter Calibration, (3 A, 5 A)
1. For this calibration range, connect the instrument as shown in Figure 8-7, “6242
Connections for Calibration (c)” and set the DMM measurement function to
DCV.
Current-source: XIS
Current HI limiter: XILH
Current LO limiter: XILL
2. Select the range.
3 A range: XR4
5 A range: XR5
3. Using XDAT, set the DMM data input mode.
4. Determine the DMM read value using the following expression.
data = DMM read value [V] / standard resistance [Ω]
5. Set the calculated value using XD data.
6. Select XNXT to proceed to the full-scale calibration mode.
7. Determine the DMM read value using the following expression.
data = DMM read value [V] / standard resistance [Ω]
8. Set the calculated value using XD data.
9. Select XNXT to exit from the DMM data input mode.
10. Select XADJ to proceed to zero-calibration-data fine adjustment mode.
11. Verify the zero calibration value.
XUP and XDN can fine-adjust the calibration coefficient.
12. XNXT shifts to full-scale calibration data fine adjustment mode.
13. Verify the full-scale calibration value.
XUP and XDN can fine-adjust the calibration coefficient.
14. Proceed to the next step.
