Calibration Menus

This menu defines four
menu
keys:
Auto
Indicates to the user that the calibration point is automatically set according
to the amplitude (and frequency in ACV) of the signal detected. Auto is the
default selection on entry to the
CALIBRATION
menu. Refer to the tables
appearing later in this chapter for the calibration points for the selected range.
An indication of the use of the
SAMPLE
key is also displayed
Set
The Set feature is available in all functions, allowing the user to enter the true
value of the calibration standard where it differs from nominal calibration
point value. Pressing Set displays the
SET VALUE
menu except in ACV Spot
Frequency mode, when the
SPOT
CAL
menu is displayed. Spot Frequency
calibration reduces flatness errors within ± 10 % of the spot frequency. Set is
not available for DCV, DCI, and Resistance range zero calibrations.
Special
Special
Cal
is indicated on the main display. The
SPCL
menu is displayed
which allows pre-calibration of the Multimeter, calibration of the frequency
counter, and entry to other calibration utilities.
Quit
Exits from the
CALIBRATION
menu via the
CALIBRATION DUE ?
menu,
where the recommended next calibration date can be entered, before finally
quitting the calibration mode.
SET VALUE Menu
This menu is obtained by pressing the Set key in the
CALIBRATION
menu on all
functions except ACV Spot Frequency.

SET VALUE Menu
When this menu appears, it shows the nominal calibration point value, allowing the user
to enter the true output value of the calibration standard at the point to be calibrated. The
keyboard is activated, locking out all other keys. The Set value is entered in exponential
format expressed in Volts, Amps, or Ohms, and must be above 20 % of range (40 % on
the 1000V DCV and ACV ranges). The
SAMPLE
key has no effect until the
Set
value is
stored by pressing the
Enter
key.
The Multimeter always chooses the most-recently stored
Set
value when calibrating.
Set
is not available for DCV, DCI, and Resistance range zero calibrations.
W
Caution
Enter: The new value is stored and the keyboard is de-
activated. The set value remains on the dot-matrix display for
comparison with the reading on the main display after the
SAMPLE key has been pressed.
Quit:
Reverts to the CALIBRATION menu, deleting the set
value from store.
