Calibration Routine
The calibration procedure proper is entered by pressing Cont’n on the top level Calibration menu;
pressing
Done returns the display to the Utilty menu. Pressing Tests calls a menu of basic
hardware checks used at production test; these are largely self−explanatory but details can be
found in the Service Manual if required.
At each calibration step the display changes to prompt the user to adjust the KNOB or cursor keys,
until the reading on the specified instrument is at the value given. The cursor keys provide coarse
adjustment, and the KNOB fine adjustment. Pressing

method of adjustment
The full procedure is as follows:
