M9217A verification procedure
The DC accuracy verification procedure uses a calibration standard of known accuracy to
generate DC voltage input signals that are measured by the digitizer. You are required to
calculate the average value from the measured data samples. The measurement results
(average) are then compared to the known values of the inputs to determine the
measurement error of the digitizer. Large data records are acquired and averaged in order
to reduce the effects of noise on the measurements and to determine the DC value of the
input signals more accurately.
1 Run M9217A Soft Front Panel (SFP).
2 Connect the calibrator output to the channel inputs on the digitizer. Both channels may
be connected in parallel to make the measurements easier. Use BNC T-connectors near
the channel inputs.
