Resistance Calibration - Fluke 8508A User Manual

Resistance Calibration

When calibrating the resistance function, each of the resistance modes (Normal, LoI,
Tru , Tru LoI and HiV ) must be individually calibrated. The following procedure
assumes use of a multifunction calibrator and calibrates each resistance mode in turn,
range by range. If individual standard resistors are used it may be more convenient to
calibrate all the modes in turn for each resistance value to avoid connecting the same
resistance standard several times during the calibration sequence. A 1G standard
resistor provided in the 8508A-7000K calibration kit is used for ranges above 200 M as
the highest resistance available from the 5720A calibrator is 100 M .

1. 20 G range gain is calibrated automatically during 2 G HiV
(after 2 G HiV range cal) at 10 G if a standard is available. The 100 M and 2 G Normal
calibrated before 2 G HiV range gain point.
