Explanation
Zero level compensation
This function is used to create a zero input condition using the internal circuit of the
instrument and setting the level at that point to zero level. Zero level compensation
must be performed to meet the specifications of this instrument (see chapter 16).
• Press the SHIFT key to turn ON the indicator to the left of the SHIFT key and
then press the ENTER key to perform zero level compensation.
• Zero compensation is also performed the first time a measurement is made after
changing the measurement range.
Note
•
For making accurate measurements, we recommend zero level compensation to be
performed after warming up the instrument for at least 30 minutes. In addition, the ambient
temperature need to be within the specifications (see chapter 16) and stable.
•
If the measurement mode, measurement range, and input filter are not changed over a long
period of time, the zero level may change due to the changes in the environment surrounding
the instrument. We recommend zero level compensation to be performed in this case.
