Calibration Parameters

 

 

With the calibration password entered the different parameters of the instrument can 

be calibrated: 

 

To enter the different parameters, complete the following procedure: 

 

1. Select 

CALIBRATE

 using the soft key 

 

 

 

 
2. Use the ‘Digital Control’ or the ‘Arrow Keys’ to highlight the required parameter 
e.g. ‘DC Volts’ and then press 

SELECT 

soft key 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Depending upon the model and options fitted the available functions will vary
