Voltage measurement ranges calibration

To calibrate the voltage measurement ranges:
1. Connect the DC voltage calibrator to the Model 6517B input.
2. Apply 0.0 V
3. Send the following commands to:
:CAL:PROT:VZERO2
:CAL:PROT:VZERO20
:CAL:PROT:VZERO200
4. Leaving the DC voltage calibrator connected, calibrate each polarity of each range:
b. Send the calibration command listed in the second column of the below table with the voltage reading
from the DC voltage calibrator.

Voltage source calibration

For all voltage source ranges, connect the DMM to the voltage source output. Set the DMM to
measure DC voltage, and then turn auto ranging on.
