Keithley 2000 Calibration Manual

Manufacturing calibration
The manufacturing procedure is normally performed only at the factory, but the necessary
steps are included here in case the unit is repaired, and the unit requires these calibration proce-
dures.
NOTE If the unit has been repaired, the entire comprehensive calibration procedure should
also be performed in addition to the manufacturing calibration procedure.
Recommended test equipment
Table 2-13 summarizes the test equipment required for the manufacuring calibration steps. In
addition, you will need the Fluke 5700A Calibrator (see Table 2-1) to complete the comprehen-
sive calibration steps.
Unlocking manufacturing calibration
To unlock manufacturing calibration, press and hold in the OPEN key while turning on the
power.
Measuring the synthesizer voltage
The 3Hz synthesizer signal amplitude must be accurately measured using the digital multim-
eter listed in Table 2-13. Proceed as follows:
1. Connect the synthesizer output to the digital multimeter input jacks (see Figure 2-5).
2. Turn on the synthesizer and multimeter, and allow a one-hour warm-up period before
measuring.
3. Set the synthesizer to output a 1V RMS sine wave at 3Hz; measure and record the signal
amplitude.
