Recommended Test Equipment
The test equipment recommended for the performance verification and
adjustment procedures is listed in Table 1- 1 below. If the exact
instrument is not available, substitute calibration standards of equivalent
accuracy.
A suggested alternate method would be to use the Keysight 3458A 8½
Digit Digital Multimeter to measure less accurate yet stable sources. The
output value measured from the source can be entered into the
instrument as the target calibration value.
