Input Channel Calibration
The input channels are calibrated automatically. The system will now
use the calibrated OUTPUT channel as the signal source. The gain
error and offset estimation are calculated automatically for all the input
range settings.
The input calibration process depends on an accurately calibrated
OUTPUT channel. If the OUTPUT channel is not accurately calibrated,
the validation report will document less than satisfactory results for both
input and output channels.
Calibration Result Validation
After the input calibration, the software validates the calibration results.
During this validation, it requires the measurements of the DC offset and
RMS values again. Both DC offset and RMS measurement will be made
for all three voltage ranges as before.
The dialog boxes below ask for a measurement and entry of the DC and
AC reading from the meter. The software will check the deviation of its
expected value and the measured value.
