Page 105: Calibrating Linear Voltage Inputs
Section 7 - Instrument Care and Maintenance for each channel. Current Cal RTD – Calibrate the unit‟s current excitation source. Apply a 250 Ohm precision resistor. Doing this on one channel calibrates all channels. 1 Hz Cal – Calibrate the units frequency reference. Apply a 1 Hz signal to channel 1, 6, 7 or 12. Doing this on one channel calibrates all four channels. -
