Calibration Overview
This section contains procedures for verifying the instrument performance,
as well as procedures for making adjustments where necessary.
Closed-case electronic calibration
The instrument features closed- case electronic calibration. No internal
mechanical adjustments are required. The instrument calculates correction
factors based upon the input reference value you set. The new correction
factors are stored in the nonvolatile memory until the next calibration
adjustment is performed. The nonvolatile EEPROM calibration memory
does not change when power has been turned off, after a Factory Reset
(*RST command), or after an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet
command).
Keysight Technologies calibration services

When your instrument is due for calibration, contact your local Keysight
Service Center for recalibration. See “Types of Services Available” on
page 239 for information on contacting Keysight.
Ensure that you have read the “Test Considerations” on page 145 before
calibrating the instrument.
