8.2.5 Calibration Procedure

(1) Calibration of voltage source and current source
Calibration of voltage source is explained.
Calibration of voltage source is performed with the connections shown in Figure 8-3 (a) and the DCV
function and auto range are used for the DMM measurement function.
Calibration of current source in the 320 A to 320 mA ranges is performed in the same way as cali-
bration of voltage source. But the connections are made as shown in Figure 8-3 (b), and the DCI func-
tion and auto range are used for the DMM measurement function.
Calibration of current source in the 3.2 A and 10 A ranges is performed in the same way as calibration
of voltage source. But the connections are made as shown in Figure 8-3 (c), and the DCV function
and auto range are used for the DMM measurement function. The tolerance range is calculated by the
following formula.
Tolerance value [A] = DMM measured value [V]/Standard resistor value []
1. Press the MENU button and select SYSTEM in the parameter group and select
the Cal Switch Set parameter to set it to ON.
When Cal Switch Set is set to ON, Calibration is added to the SYSTEM param-
eters.
2. Press the button to select Calibration on the parameter selection screen.
3. Press the button.
The calibration mode is invoked, and the calibration item selection screen
appears.
4. Press the button.
The voltage source calibration mode is invoked, and the range/polarity setting
screen appears.
5. Set the range and generation polarity by pressing the RANGE (Up) and
(Down) buttons and the POLARITY + and - buttons.
