e. Check against limits: Do the following subparts in the order listed.
H Use this formula to calculate voltage measurement accuracy.
700 mV -- (mean from step c -- (present mean))
For example:
700 mV -- (347 mV -- (--358 mV)) = --5 mV
H CHECK that the voltage measurement accuracy is
within į20.8 mV.
f. Test all channels: Repeat substeps a through e for all channels.
3. Disconnect the hookup:
a. Set the generator output to 0 V.
b. Then disconnect the cable from the generator output at the input
connector of the channel last tested.
