Linearity check
Measure 80Ω
Display 80.0 ± 15 cts
Gains check
Measure 120Ω
Display 120 ± 4 ct
Note error N1 (# of ct)
Gains check
Measure 150Ω
Display 150 ± 4 ct
Note error N2 (# of ct)
Gains check To verify proper linearity of the two ranges, be sure the
difference between the above error values (N1-N2) is
less than 2 counts. If condition is not met, readjust the
end of the scale to balance the error. Adjust R040 to
read 500 Ω ± 40 cts.
