18-28 Performance Verification
4. Verify ohms measurement accuracy for each of the resistance values listed in
Table 18-14. For each measurement:
• Set the resistance calibrator output to the nominal resistance or closest available
value.
NOTE It may not be possible to set the resistance calibrator to the specified value. Use the
closest possible setting, and modify reading limits accordingly.
• Select the appropriate ohms measurement range with the RANGE keys.
• Verify that the Model 6430 resistance reading is within the limits given in the
table.
2GΩ-200GΩ range accuracy
1. With the power off, connect the Remote PreAmp IN/OUT HIGH jack directly to the
Model 5156 OUTPUT jack as shown in Figure 18-9. (Use male triax-to-triax adapters.
Also, be sure to remove the link between Model 5156 SHIELD and CHASSIS, and
connect the BNC shorting cap to the resistance cap being used.)

Reading limits based on Model 6430 normal accuracy specifications and nominal resistance values. If actual
resistance values differ from nominal values shown, recalculate reading limits using actual calibrator resis-
tance values and Model 6430 normal accuracy specifications. See Verification limits earlier in this section for
details.
