DMM Re-Verification
Repeat the DMM Verification section to determine the As-Left status of the instrument.
Note If any test fails re-verification after performing an adjustment, verify that you
have met the conditions listed in the DMM Test Conditions section before returning
your device to NI. Refer to Where to Go for Support for assistance in returning the
device to NI.
Oscilloscope Calibration Procedure
This section contains the verification and adjustment procedures for the oscilloscope on the
VirtualBench. The calibration process includes the following steps:
1. Oscilloscope Initial Setup—Set up the test equipment.
2. Oscilloscope Verification—Verify the existing operation of the instrument. This step
confirms whether the instrument is operating within its specified range prior to adjustment.
3. Oscilloscope Adjustment—Perform an external adjustment of the instrument that adjusts
the calibration constants with respect to standards of known values.
4. Oscilloscope Re-Verification—Repeat the verification procedure to ensure that the
instrument is operating within its specifications after adjustment.
These steps are described in more detail in the following sections.
