The calibration number is incremented by 1 whenever the multimeter is
calibrated. If autocal is secured, the calibration number is also incremented by
1 whenever an autocal is performed; if unsecured, autocal does not affect the
calibration number.
•
The calibration number is stored in cal-protected memory and is not lost when
power is removed.
•
The multimeter was calibrated before it left the factory. When you receive the
multimeter, read the calibration number to determine its initial value.
