Front panel calibration
The front panel calibration procedure described below calibrates all ranges of both the current
and voltage source and measure functions. Note that each range is separately calibrated by
repeating the entire procedure for each range.
Step 1: Prepare the Model 2410 for calibration
1. Turn on
the Model 2410 and the digital multimeter, and allow them to warm up for at
least one hour before performing calibration.
2. Press the MENU key, and then choose CAL and press ENTER. Select UNLOCK, and
then press ENTER. The instrument will display the following:
PASSWORD:
Use , , ▲, ▼, ENTER, or EXIT.
3. Use the up and down range keys to select the letter or number, and use the left and right
arrow keys to choose the position. Enter the present password on the display. (Front
panel default: 002410.) Press ENTER to complete the process.
4. Press EXIT to return to normal display. Instrument operating states will be set as
summarized in Table 2-2.
Step 2: Voltage calibration
Perform the steps below for each voltage range, using Table 2-3 as a guide.
1. Connect the Model 2410 to the digital multimeter, as shown in Figure 2-1. Select the
multimeter DC volts measurement function.
NOTE The 2-wire connections shown assume that remote sensing is not used. Remote
sens
ing may be used, if desired, but it is not essential when using the recommended
d
igital multimeter.
2. Fr
om normal display, press the SOURCE V key.
3. Press the EDIT key to select the source field (cursor flashing in source display field), and
th
en use th
e down RANGE key to select the 200mV source range.
4. From normal display, press MENU.
5. Select CAL, and then press ENTER. The unit will display the following:
CALIBRATION
UNLOCK EXECUTE VIEW-DATES
SAVE LOCK CHANGE-PASSWORD
6. Select EXECUTE, and then press ENTER. The instrument will display the following
message:
V-CAL
Press ENTER to Output +200.00mV
7. Press ENTER. The Model 2410 will source +200mV and simultaneously display the
following:
DMM RDG: +200.0000mV
Use , , ▲, ▼, ENTER, or EXIT.
