RTD Source
To verify the RTD Source function:
1. Connect the UUT to the 8508A DMM as shown in Figure 8. Use a four-wire
connection transitioning to two-wires at the UUT.
2. Set the 8508A to 4-Wire Ohms, auto-range.
3. Set the UUT to the RTD source function, Pt100 (385) at -180 °C, ITS-90 scale.
4. See if the value shown on the DMM is in the range shown in the applicable
column in Table 17.
5. Continue through the test points.
6. When you complete the test, push on the UUT two times to turn the source
function off. This conserves battery life.
