To set a dc voltage output:
1. Make sure the Calibrator is in standby (STANDBY annunciator lit). Push if
necessary.
2. If the UUT is not connected, connect it now as described in this chapter under
“Connect the Calibrator to a UUT.”
3. Set the UUT to measure dc voltage on the necessary range.
4. Enter a voltage value with the numeric keypad.
5. To change the polarity of the entry, push .
6. Push , , or if necessary.
7. Push .
8. The display now shows the amplitude of the entry. If an entry error is made, push
