It is required to wait for 10 seconds for the data to be stable. 
Each second is shown with a blinking dot at the top left hand 
corner of the display. Once this is completed, the next step 
involves saving the calibrated data. To save the data, press the 

MENU

 key and the third line of data will blink to indicate the 

option to save. 

5.1.8

 

To save this calibration value, press and hold the 

 key and 

then press the 

key. This will store the calibration data to the 

instrument, and the program will go back to the main menu 
(*CALIBRATION MENU*). If users DO NOT want to save the 

data, press the 

MENU

 key and bring the program back to main 

menu ( *CALIBRATION MENU*).

 25 Ω calibration 

5.2.1

 

 

The process of 

25

 

Ω calibrations is similar

 to t

hat of 100 Ω 

calibrations. First, turn off the power of the instrument and 
ensure the measurement/calibration switch at the rear panel is 
moved to the “CAL” side (right side), as shown in Figure 3. 

5.2.2

 

Choose the 25 Ohm CALIBRATION under main menu 

(*CALIBRATION MENU*) by touching 

or

 key to move 

the “>” to the “25 Ohm CALIBRATION” line

 

* CALIBRATION MENU

     100 Ohm CALIBRATION

 >   25 Ohm CALIBRATION

                               Enter = Yes
