The lowermost measurement value in the voltage gen-
eration window is the calibrator’s own feedback meas-
urement of the generated voltage. It is accurate enough
for trimming the generated value. The Digital Multimeter
connected to the loop is optional.

is inside the high adjustment point range and enter the
correct value for that point too. Repeat the low and high
adjustments until the voltage generation is accurate
enough.

Notes.
For feedback measurement adjustment point ranges 1 and 2, only the lowermost value in the voltage generation win-
dow (the feedback measurement value) is changed.
The feedback measurement adjustment point range 3 is both for the voltage generation range and the feedback meas-
urement adjustment. Thus both values are updated.
