To test the dc calibrator
The Aux Out BNC on the back panel is used for self-calibration and probe calibration. Though
calibrator accuracy is not specified in the performance specifications, it must be within limits in
order to provide accurate self-calibration.
Test Limits: -2.4 v to +2.4 v, Accuracy ±0.2% of delta voltage output
Equipment Required
Procedure
1 Connect the multimeter to the back panel Aux Out BNC.
Use the BNC cable and the BNC to banana plug adapter.
2 Enable the graphical interface.
Use the mouse to click on the button in the upper right-hand corner of the display. See Figure 3-1.
