CALIBRATION
8.
Select the "lOOQ" output from the 5450A and cali-
brate the
high
point for the 200Q range, entering the
value computed in step 5
as
a variable input.
9.
Select the
"1
kQ" output from the 5450A and cali-
brate the high point for the
2
kQ range, entering the
value computed in step 6
as
a variable input.
10. Calibrate the remaining ranges (steps
D-G
of Table
6-10) using the 5450A outputs.
11.
Recalibrate the low point for each 2-wire ohms range
using a shorting
link
(Pomona
MDP-S-0
or equiva-
lent) across the UUT's
HI
and
LO
INPUT
terminals.
12.
Exit the calibration mode by pressinn the
CAL
13.
Using the same configuration shown in Figure 6-4,
verify that the UUT measures the same value (within
1
digit) in 2-wire ohms (using the offset feature to
correct for 5450A floor error)
as
in 4-wire ohms. If
the readings differ by more than
1
digit, reenable the
calibration mode and repeat steps 2 through
8.
14. Cover the CAL
ENABLE
switch with a calibration
certification sticker.

Remote
Calibration
If the IEEE-488 Interface is installed, the 8840A can
be
calibrated under remote control. Remote calibration is very
similar to local (front-panel controlled) calibration. Table
6-14 shows the remote commands which
correswnd to the

ENABLE
switch. fiont panel features.
