Voltage source partial calibration
If an individual range of the Model 6517B voltage source is calibrated, the eight steps corresponding
to a single voltage source range need to be performed:
1. Starting the voltage source zero calibration step.
2. Calibrating the voltage source zero point.
3. Starting the voltage source positive full scale calibration step.
4. Calibrating the voltage source positive full scale point.
5. Starting the voltage source negative full scale calibration step.
6. Calibrating the voltage source negative full scale point.
7. Starting the voltage source positive 40 % calibration step.
8. Calibrating the voltage source positive 40 % calibration point.
Humidity partial calibration
The humidity input has two calibration points, both which need to be performed.
Calibration of the humidity zero point
Calibration of the hu1 V point
Temperature partial calibration
The temperature input has three calibration points, all of which need to be performed.
Calibration of the tempe100° C point
Calibration of the temperature zero point
Calibration of the temperature -25° C point
