Page 161: Performance Tests And Calibration

Calibration from Front Panel This chapter contains the performance test and adjustment procedures. The performance test procedure verifies that the U1253B true RMS OLED multimeter is operating within its published specifications. The adjustment procedure ensures that the multimeter remains within its specifications until the next calibration.

Page 162: Calibration Overview

N O T E calibrating the instrument. Closed-case electronic calibration The U1253B true RMS OLED multimeter features closed- case electronic calibration. In other words, no internal electro- mechanical adjustment is required. This instrument calculates correction factors based on the input reference signals you feed into it during the calibration process.

Page 163: Other Recommendations For Calibration

Agilent recommends that readjustment should be performed during the calibration process for best performance. This will ensure that the U1253B true RMS OLED multimeter remains within its specifications. This calibration criterion provides the best long- term stability.
