    4.1. Calibrating the 1017 The 1017 can be calibrated with a high accuracy D.M.M. with D.C. voltage, current and resistance ranges with a specification of at least 4 times greater than that of the 1017’s specifications. Calibration is best carried out on fully charged batteries without the mains supply connected to ensure that no mains supply interference takes any effect on the readings.
