Calibration 3457A
a. Remove the two screws attaching the Strain Relief/Wiring Block Assembly to the rear panel and
disconnect it from the instrument. (Refer to Figure 5-3, Step 1).
b. Remove the Strain Relief Plate from the bottom of the Strain Relief Assembly (Figure 5-3, Step 2).
c. Remove the Wiring Block from the Strain Relief Housing (Figure 5-3, Step 3).
d. Install copper shorting wires from INput HI to INput LO, from INput HI to Q Sense HI, and from
INput LO to Q Sense LO on 4-Wire Q input channel 10. Securely tighten the appropriate retaining

a. Select the DC Voltage function. (Press the DCV function key ).
b. Select the Scanner Input. (Press the TERM configuration key, enter the number 2 and press the ENT key ).
c. Select channel 0. (Press the CHAN configuration key, enter the number 0 and press the ENT key ).
d. Use the following procedure to calibrate the DC offset on the 300 V, 30 V, 3 V, 300 mV and
30 mV ranges beginning with the 300 V range.
1, Set the 3457A to the appropriate range. (Use the { or | scroll key's to select the proper range).
2. Access the Calibration Command. (Press the Blue SHIFT key, then the OFFSET COMP / C configura-
tion key). The display will show CAL.
3. Enter the value of the input - in this case 0. (NOTE: If the security feature has not been disabled (set to
0), it will be necessary to enter the input value, the delimiter (, ) and the security code).
4. Press the ENT key. The display will show CALIBRATING while the calibration routine is
