AC VOLTS Gain Verification Test
Configuration: AC Volts
LF 3 HZ:SLOW (in the Advanced menu)
1 Make sure you have read “Test Considerations” on page 71.
2 Select Channel 210, set the AC VOLTS function and the 3 Hz input
filter. With the slow filter selected, each measurement takes 7 seconds
to complete. Before executing each test, you must press to
enable reading monitoring on the selected channel (or use the
ROUTe:MON command from the remote interface).
3 Select each range in the order shown below. Compare measurement
results to the appropriate test limits shown in the table. (Be certain to
allow for appropriate source settling.)

[1] For this test, isolate the calibrator’s output from earth ground.
[2] Some calibrators may have difficulty driving the internal DMM and cable load at this
V-Hz output. Use short, low capacitance cable to reduce calibration loading.
Verification can be performed at >195 Vrms. New test limits can be computed from
the accuracy specification shown in Chapter 1 for the actual test conditions used.
Q: Quick performance verification test points.
Note: The 50 kHz ac voltage test points may fail performance
verification if the internal shields have been removed and reinstalled.
See “Gain Adjustment,” on page 82, for further information on how to
recalibrate the ac voltage function.
