EX10xxA Calibration

ETTING

P THE

NSTRUMENTS

Prior to performing calibration, the EX10xxA/RX10xx must be connected to the required equipment
as indicated in the steps below:

Fig 10-1, Demonstrates the EX10xxA unit for EX10xx calibration
Fig 10-2, Demonstrates the RX10xx unit for RX10xx calibration

1)

Connect a GPIB cable from the LAN/GPIB gateway to the DMM.

Connect a banana jack probe from the Calibration Sense HI/LO jacks of EX10xxA/RX10xx to
the HI/LO voltage terminals of DMM.

Connect an Ethernet cable from the PC’s LAN port to the Ethernet switch.

Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet switch to the LAN/GPIB gateway.

Power up all the instruments.

The GPIB/LAN Gateway should be able to query and list the attached GPIB devices through
the browser. Note the GPIB address of connected DMM.
