Gaussmeter Calibration, 1mA Excitation Ranges

This section describes the method of calibrating the 1 mA current source that may be used for future Hall sensors. The
five ranges of the 475 will need to be calibrated for each current setting. The highest range is for each current is
calibrated using a 332

resistor that is measured using the 3458 in a four lead resistance measurement mode. The

remaining ranges are calibrated by using the previous calibrated range as shown in the following steps.
