Disconnect the power cord to stop the operation of the range calibrator as the
range calibrator will continue to operate with no power applied.
3 Turn on the voltmeter and allow it to warm up for 4 hours.
4 Turn on the DC source and allow it to warm up. Set the output voltage to 0 V.
5 Turn on the DUT and allow it to warm up for 30 minutes.
6 Ensure the range calibrator is not plugged-in or powered on.
7 Connect the range calibrator to the DUT using the power meter interconnect
cable.
8 Connect the DC source to the range calibrator external voltage input and the
voltmeter using cables and a BNC T-joint connector at the range calibrator.
9 Configure the DUT as shown below.
10 Configure the voltmeter using the default setup settings.
When switching the range calibrator to STANDBY, allow enough time for the
range calibrator to settle to its zero value before attempting to zero the Keysight
N8262A P-Series modular power meter. This settling would appear on the
Keysight N8262A P-Series modular power meter display as downward drift.
When the drift has reached minimum, (typically less than 60 seconds), the range
calibrator is settled.
