procedure involves no adjustments. It simply ensures internal processes are in control,
and establishes parallel external traceability paths for internal functions such as ac
transfers that are never adjusted or corrected.
Figure 1-1 illustrates the time and money that can be saved by using the 5700A/5720A
Series II calibration support plan recommended by Fluke. Depending on your policies,
you may initially decide to perform calibration verification more often. The calibrator
makes this unnecessary and offers you a practical way to collect data unavailable with a
traditional calibrator design about performance between calibrations.
