Recommended Test Equipment
The test equipment recommended for the performance verification and
adjustment procedures is listed below. If the exact instrument is not a vailable,
use the accuracy requ irem ents show n to select substitute calibr ation
standards. If you use equipment other than that recommended in T able 3-1, you
must recalculate the measurement uncertainties for the actual equipment
used.
Table 3-1. Recommended Test Equipment

It is recommended to use a current monitoring resistor after calibration to
find the accurate resistance.
