Performance Verification Tests 4
Keysight 3458A Calibration Manual 65
Analog AC voltage performance tests
Required equipment
The following list of equipment is required to test the analog AC performance of
the 3458A.
– Stable AC voltage source (Fluke 5700A or equivalent).
– Transfer Standard DMM (3458A Opt. 002 within 90 days of Cal.)
– Shielded test leads terminated with dual banana plugs (such as
Keysight 11000-60001).
Preliminary steps
1 Make certain that the AC source is properly warmed up.
2 The 3458A requires a 4 hour warm up period. If this has not been done, turn
the instrument ON and allow it to warm up.
3 Execute the ACAL AC function on both the transfer standard DMM and the
UUT. This auto calibration will take approximately 1 minute to complete.
4 If the instrument Self Test has not been run, make certain all inputs are
disconnected and execute the TEST function. The display must read “SELF
TEST PASSED”.
5 Configure the transfer standard DMM as follows:
–ACV
–SETACV SYNC
– ACBAND 10,2E6
–RANGE10
–RES .001
–TRIG SGL
– LFILTER ON
6 Configure the DMM under test as follows:
–ACV
