Range Zero and Gain Calibration Procedure
After the initial setup and connecting up, use the following procedure to calibrate range
zero and range gain for the ranges and points detailed in Table 6-5 for the HiV mode.
Just one range can be calibrated if required, but for a full calibration start with the 20 M
range and work up to the 20 G range.
