Calibrator
Calibration Verification of the Product

Table 8 lists the required equipment.
The instructions in this section and the measurement sequence is structured to use common settings,
modes, and methods to simplify the calibration function.
To calibrate the Resistance function:
1. Make sure that the DUT is in Standby.
2. Set the 8588A as follows: Resistance 4Wire, LoI OFF, Range (as per Table 10), NPLC 50, Guard
OFF (external guard light ring off). Set the meter to DC Voltage temporarily to prevent compliance
limit errors on the Product.
3. Connect a strap between the Guard and Ground terminals of the DUT.
4. Connect the test equipment as shown in Figure 15.
5. Start with step 1 in Table 10. Set the output from the DUT 4W Resistance. Measure with the meter
and record the 8588A measured value in the DMM Measurement on Product column in Table 10.
Change the meter range for each step. Complete all steps for the present connection and meter
setup (1 through 14).
