5 Performance Tests and Calibration
64 Keysight U1241B and U1242B User’s and Service Guide
Input-A Terminal Test
This test determines if the input warning of the A current terminal test is
functioning properly. The multimeter sounds an alerting beep when the test lead
is inserted to the A input terminal but the rotary switch is not set to the
corresponding A location. The display indicates a flashing AErr annunciator until
the test lead is removed from the A input terminal. This warning alert is not
available in T1/T2 temperature measurements mode.
Input-mA Terminal Alert Test
This test determines if the detected input voltage level is within the accepted
boundaries when the μA/mA input terminal is connected. The multimeter sounds
an alerting beep when the μA/mA input terminal detects a voltage level of higher
than 1.6 V. The display indicates a flashing CErr annunciator until the test lead is
removed from the μA/mA input terminal.
Calibration Process
1 Prior to performing the verification tests, see Test Considerations.
2 Perform the verification tests to characterize the multimeter, see Performance
Verification Tests.
3 Unsecure the multimeter for calibration, see Calibration Security.
4 Prior to performing the adjustments, see Adjustment Considerations.
5 Perform the adjustment procedures, see Calibration Adjustments.
6 Secure the multimeter against unauthorized calibration, see Exiting
Adjustment Mode. Ensure that the multimeter has quit the Adjustment Mode
and turned off.
7 Record the new security code and calibration count in the multimeter’s
maintenance records.
The alerting beep will not be impacted even if the beep function is disabled.
