To test voltage measurement accuracy
This test verifies the voltage measurement accuracy of the instrument. The measurement is made
using dual-cursor automatic measurement so that offset errors are not a factor.
A power supply provides a reference voltage to check voltage measurement accuracy. The actual
supply voltage is monitored for accuracy using a NIST-traceable voltmeter. A dc blocking
capacitor and a BNC short are used to filter any noise generated by the power supply (especially
at low voltages) so it does not appear at the oscilloscope input.
Specification
Only the dual-cursor specification is tested.
Single Cursor Measurement:
±
(gain ac offset ac resolution/2)
Dual Cursor Measurement:
±
(gain ac resolution)
Gain Accuracy
: ±
1.00% of full scale at full-resolution channel scale
Resolution
: 8 bits, (0.4% of full scale without averaging); or
12 bits, (0.024% of full scale with 32 averages) at ful-resolution scale
Offset Accuracy
: ±
(1.00% of channel 1% of full scale) at full-resolution scale
Equipment Required
Procedure
1
Connect the equipment.
See figure 3-4.
a
Use a BNC-to-banana adapter to connect a BNC cable to the power supply.
b
Connect a BNC tee to the other end of the cable and connect the tee to channel 1 of the
oscilloscope.
c
Connect another BNC cable to the tee at the oscilloscope and connect a BNC tee to the
other end of the cable.
d
Connect the blocking capacitor to the BNC tee and connect the BNC short to the blocking
capacitor.
e
Connect a BNC-to-banana adapter to the same BNC tee and connect the adapter to the
DVM input.
