Set the calibrator to output DC volts and turn external sense off.

Perform the steps listed in

Table 17-3

to complete DC volts calibration. For each

calibration step:

•

Set the calibrator to the indicated value and make sure it is in OPERATE.

•

Press the ENTER key to calibrate that step.

•

Wait until the Model 2790 finishes each step. (The unit will display the
CALIBRATING message while calibrating.)

klqb

If your calibrator cannot output the values recommended in

Table 17-3

, use the

left and right arrow keys and the up and down range keys to set the Model 2790
display value to match the calibrator output voltage.
