3 Calibration Procedures

Adjustments

You will need a test input cable and connectors set and a low thermal
input short, Agilent 34172B (two are recommended for the 34410A/11A),
to adjust the instrument (see

ADC and Zero Adjustment

Each time you perform a zero adjustment, the instrument stores a new set
of offset correction constants for every measurement function and range.
The instrument will sequence through all required functions and ranges
automatically and store new zero offset calibration constants. All offset
corrections are determined automatically. You may not correct a single
range or function without re–entering ALL zero offset correction constants
automatically. This feature is intended to save calibration time and
improve zero calibration consistency.
Never turn off the instrument during Zero Adjustment. This may cause ALL calibration

measurement terminals when changing the block between the front and rear panel.
