15. Call the niDMM Read VI.
Note
The 90-day DC current uncertainty of the Fluke 5720A is not adequate to
calibrate the 100 µA and 1 mA DC current ranges listed in Table 25. You must
characterize the calibrator output to better than published specifications. Use
metrology laboratory methods to obtain the required uncertainty. Monitor the current
applied using a DC current shunt/voltmeter system in series with the calibrator
output. Refer to Table 13 for the recommended DC current uncertainty requirements
for the DC current shunt/voltmeter system.
