Low Resistance Source Calibration
You can calibrate the Low Resistance Source through the front-panel controls.
This Calibration does a 4-wire DC resistance measurement on each resistor in
the Low Resistance Source function.
Note
Fluke recommends you do a calibration of all resistors to make sure
the low resistance source function operates to the specified
accuracy.
To calibrate the Low Resistance function:
1. Connect the Fluke 8508A multimeter to the output terminals of the Product,
as shown in Figure 21.
