Performance Verification
Use the performance verification tests in this section to verify the
measurement performance of the instrument using the instrument’s
specifications listed in the product data sheet.
Performance verification tests are recommended as an acceptance test when
you first receive the instrument or after performing calibration. If the instrument
fails performance verification, calibration adjustment or repair is required.
Performance verification test items
⚫ Zero Offset Verification
⚫ DC Voltage and DC Current Gain Verification
⚫ Frequency Accuracy Verification
⚫ AC Voltage and AC Current Verification High Current Verification

Recommended Test Equipment
The recommended test equipment for the performance verification and
calibration is listed below. If the exact instrument is not available, substitute
calibration standards of equivalent accuracy.
Performance verification step
1. Connect the calibrator to the input terminals correctly.
2. Configure each function and range in the order shown in the table
corresponding to the DMM model number. Provide the input shown in the
table.
3. Make a measurement and return the result. Compare measurement results
to the test limits shown in the table. (Be certain to allow for appropriate
