To Perform a Zero Adjustment
The instrument features closed case electronic calibration. No internal mechanical
adjustments are required. The instrument calculates correction factors based
upon an input reference value and stores the correction factors in non-volatile
memory. This procedure demonstrates making the zero adjustment from the front
panel. The gain adjustments are similar.
DO NOT perform this procedure before reading Chapter 4. Chapter 4 describes
this procedure, the required input connections, input signals, and test
considerations required for a valid adjustment.
1 Configure the channel.
You must configure a channel before applying performing the adjustment
procedure. Configure the channel to DC VOLTS and 6½ digits.
