Internal DMM Verification Tests
AC CURRENT Gain Verification Test
Configuration:
AC Current
LF 3 HZ:SLOW (in the Advanced menu)
Make sure you have read "Test Considerations" on page 71.
1
Select Channel 221, set the AC CURRENT function and the 3 Hz
2
input filter. With the slow filter selected, each measurement takes
7 seconds to complete. Before executing each test, you must press
to enable reading monitoring on the selected channel (or use the
ROUTe:MON command from the remote interface).
Select each range in the order shown below. Compare measurement
3
results to the appropriate test limits shown in the table. (Be certain
to allow for appropriate source settling.)
