44491A Offset Test
4-51. Equipment Required. Low thermal (copper) shorting wires are required for this procedure.
1. Set the H P 3457A t o the DC Voltage function (DCV) and the number of digits displayed (DIGITS
DISP) t o six.
2. Close channel 0. (Press the CHAN configuration key, enter the number 0 and press the ENT key).
3. Test the input offset on the 300 V, 30 V, 3 V, 300 mV and 30 mV ranges and record the reading of
each range on the Test Record provided at the end of this section. Begin with the 300 V range t o al-
low any thermal voltages which might affect the readings on the lower ranges to dissipate.
4. Test the HP 3457A input offset on channels 0 through 7 with the instr~ment set t o the 30 mV
range. Record the reading of each channel on the Test Record provided at the end of this section.
5. If any of the offset readings are beyond the limits specified in Table 4-15 and on the Test Record,
the instrument sho~dd be calibrated or repaired. Refer to Section V for calibration procedures.
