Zero Offset Verification; Zero Offset Verification Procedure - Keysight Technologies 34420A Service Manual

Zero Offset Verification

This procedure verifies the zero performance of the meter. Verification checks are
only performed for those functions and ranges with unique zero calibration
constants. A low thermal 4-wire shorting plug is applied to the input of the meter
for these checks.
