Front panel short and open calibration
At the Model 2010 prompt for a front panel short, perform the following:
1. Connect the Model 8610 low-thermal short to the instrument front panel INPUT and
SENSE terminals as shown in Figure 2-1. Make sure the INPUTS button is not pressed
in so that the front inputs are selected. Wait at least three minutes before proceeding to
allow for thermal equilibrium.
NOTE Be sure to connect the low-thermal short properly to the HI, LO, and SENSE
terminals. Keep drafts away from low-thermal connections to avoid thermal drift,
which could affect calibration accuracy.
2. Press ENTER to start short-circuit calibration. While the unit is calibrating, the unit will
display:
CALIBRATING
3. When the unit is done calibrating, it will display the following prompt:
OPEN CIRCUIT
4. Remove the calibration short, and press ENTER. During this phase, the CALIBRATING
message will be displayed.
