2-2 Calibration

Introduction

Use the procedures in this section to calibrate the Model 2015. Calibration procedures
include:
•
•
WARNING
All the procedures require accurate calibration equipment to supply precise DC and AC volt-
ages, DC and AC currents, and resistance values. Comprehensive AC, DC, distortion, or function
generator calibration can be performed any time by an operator either from the front panel, or
by using the SCPI commands sent either over the IEEE-488 bus or the RS-232 port. DC-only,
distortion, and function generator calibration may be performed individually, if desired.
Comprehensive calibration: Usually the only calibration required in the field.
Manufacturing calibration: Usually only performed at the factory (unless the unit has
been repaired).
This information in this section is intended only for qualified service per-
sonnel. Do not attempt these procedures unless you are qualified to do so.
