ENTRY

DESCRIPTION

VIEW ANGLE

-10 to +10

LCD viewing angle adjustment.

CAL PWORD

Calibration password required to access all calibration screens.

The calibration password is 5000. The password can be

entered using the keypad or shuttle followed by the ENTER

key.

Measurement Calibration Screens

MVOLT FS

Calibration coefficient for full-scale voltage measurement.

MCURR FS

Calibration coefficient for full-scale current measurement.

Output Calibration Screens

VOLT FS

Calibration coefficient for voltage output.

VOLT ZERO

Zero offset voltage calibration factor.

IMP REAL FS

Full scale resistive output impedance calibration factor.

IMP REAC FS

Full scale inductive output impedance calibration factor.

IMP REAL0in

Minimum resistive AC source output impedance. The source

has an output impedance greater than zero. This value

determines the minimum resistive component of the AC source

output impedance.

IMP REAC0in

Minimum reactive AC source output impedance. The source

has an output impedance greater than zero. This value

determines the minimum resistive component of the AC source

output impedance.

PHASE OFST

0.0 - 360.0

Phase offset calibration factor. Compensates for phase shift

caused by AC amplifier.
