b)  For “Measure DC Volts Channel 2”, Calculate the limits of error by 
adding/subtracting the value noted in the “Tolerance” column to the value of 
the “Standard” column for each setpoint.  A PASS result is any “Measurement 
Result” value that is equal to or in between the Lower Limit and Upper Limit 
error numbers. 
10.  Enter setup mode, 
(1.5s)
 and ensure the following parameters are set: units = 
“mV” and rAnGE = “Lo”. 
11.  By using the   and/or 
 
keys, adjust the instrument Source to match 
each value in Figure 12 in the “Low range”, notating the result from the DMM on 
the “Instrument Verification Data Sheet”, Appendix C in “Source DC Volts Channel 
1” “Measurement Result” and “Measure DC Volts Channel 2” “Standard” column.   
12.  Pass/Fail Criteria: 
c)  For “Source DC Volts Channel 1”, a PASS result is any “Measurement Result” 
value that is equal to or in between the Lower Limit and Upper Limit error 
numbers. 
d)  For “Measure DC Volts Channel 2”, Calculate the limits of error by 
adding/subtracting the value noted in the “Tolerance” column to the value of 
the “Standard” column for each setpoint.  A PASS result is any “Measurement 
Result” value that is equal to or in between the Lower Limit and Upper Limit 
error numbers. 
13.  To verify the Cold Junction Compensation, (CJC) of the Source, (Channel 1) and 
Read, (Channel 2).   
14.  Place the CL940A in a Controlled Environment
10
 along with an accurate 
thermometer
11
 for one hour to stabilize. Compare CJC readings with the reference 
thermometer reading.  Display the CJC temperature by pressing 
(1.5s)
.  The 
screen will display “CJC 1” and the current temperature of CJC 1 in °C.  Pressing 
the   key again will display “CJC 2” and the current temperature of CJC 2 in °C.  
Notate the results in the “Cold Junction Compensation” section on the Instrument 
Verification Data Sheet, placing the Thermometer reading in the “Standard” 
column, and the CJC readings in the “Measurement Result” column.  Select   to 
exit.

 An accurate thermometer specification is 2 Sigma uncertainty ≤ .04°C (40mK) at the verification 
temperature.
