Calibration Adjust - Fluke 8588A Operator's Manual

Calibration Adjust

Use Calibration Adjust to enhance accuracy. From the Instrument Setup menu,
push  (Calibration Adjust) to access the Calibration Adjust submenu. The
Calibration Adjust menu main screen is shown here:
Calibration adjustment corrections are applied to very-significantly enhance
accuracy. The Product has two sets of stores which are named Certified and
Baseline. Select which corrections are active. The Product leaves the factory with
Certified stores active and the calibration certificate refers to performance in this
configuration. The Certified corrections are copied to the Baseline stores at the
Manufacturer.
Baseline stores would normally only be overwritten after repair. The annual or bi-
annual Product recalibration updates the Certified stores but the Baseline is not
changed.
Examples of the use of the Product baseline:
•
As a monitor of the long-term drift of the Product unaffected by the changes
to the certified stores from routine calibration adjustment.
•
To prove that the DMM performance was unaffected by transit to and from
routine calibration.
