5.5 Calibration Tests
NOTE: These tests require firmware version 3.21 (or higher) in the 8500C/C+ balancer/
analyzer. For instructions on changing the firmware to a newer version, see Section 5.7.3,
“EPROM Change Procedure.”
This section contains instructions to test the 8500C/C+ system design parameters. If a test step fails,
