R2: Measuring resistance in the high voltage probe. Speci-
fied on the probe. Nominal value 37.5 ohms.
The measuring accuracy of the QA-ES should be checked for
the following resistance values and the corresponding signals
applied.

Calculate the average value for the difference between QA-ES
and URE 3 and correct the value for Q_gain in the calibration
menu by following the instructions given before under item 4 in
this section.

6. Scope Output. Connect the high voltage generator to 'Var.
Load' and the oscilloscope to 'Scope Output'. Set the QA-ES to
continuous mode and start measuring by pressing on Start. Ac-
tivate the high voltage generator and measure the peak-to-peak
voltage on the oscilloscope. Check that this value equals the
current flow read on the QA-ES.
Nominal value: 4.5 ∀ 0.4 V/A
NOTE
Remember to set the ref-
erence impedance in
URE 3 to the same value
as the load resistance
used for measuring.
Remember that the
scope output is not cali-
brated!
