2.10.1 Recommended equipment for low-level
calibration
Table 2-6 summarizes recommended equipment for low-lev-
el calibration. Alternate equipment may be used as long as
corresponding specifications are at least as good as those list-
ed in the table. See Appendix D for a list of alternate calibra-
tion sources.
2.10.2 Low-level calibration summary
Table 2-7 summarizes the steps necessary to complete the
low-level calibration procedure. The procedure must be per-
formed in the order shown in the table. Calibration com-
mands shown are to be used when calibrating the unit over
the IEEE-488 bus.
