Calibration Adjusting Procedures This chapter explains how to adjust the SDM3065X digital multimeter for optimum operating performance. Only qualified personnel should perform this procedure. Calibration Adjustment Interval The instrument should be calibrated on a regular interval determined by the accuracy requirements of your application. A 1-year interval is adequate for most applications.
4-Wire Ohms Calibration Capacitance Calibration Temperature Calibration Recommended Test Equipment The recommended test equipment for the performance calibration is listed below. If the exact instrument is not available, substitute calibration standards of equivalent accuracy. Calibrator: FLUKE 5522A High precision digital multimeter:HP3458A Computer: Windows system, configured with GPIB Instrument Control Devices (like PCI-GPIB), installed the software mentioned below.
Open the "Calibration.xlsx" in the folder "Calibration", then select the corresponding sheet in the "Calibration.xlsx" according to the function of SDM3065X you want to calibrate. b) Set the output of the calibrator according to the "Output Setting Value" in the table, then record the calibration value (pay attention to the units) of the high precision multimeter in the table.
Page 26
If the "Calibration Value" of the function you want to calibrate is not filled in the table, the calibration script will not work correctly. 3. Connect the Calibrator, PC and SDM3065X digital multimeter as shown below: 1. Connect the FLUKE5522A to the computer with GPIB cable 2.
