Manufacturing calibration
The manufacturing calibration 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 procedures.
NOTE If the unit has been repaired, the entire comprehensive calibration procedure should
also be performed in addition to the manufacturing calibration procedure.
Firmware revision level
The manufacturing calibration procedure depends on the firmware revision level, either
revision A13 and lower, or revision A14 and higher. The instrument displays the firmware
revision as part of the power-up cycle. Be sure to use the correct procedure as outlined below.
Recommended test equipment
Table 2-13 summarizes the test equipment required for the manufacturing calibration steps.
Note that the equipment depends on firmware revision level. See Table 2-1 for equipment
necessary for the comprehensive calibration steps.
