Introduction to Calibration
Introduction to Calibration
This chapter contains procedures for verification of the instrument's performance and adjustment (calibration).
The instrument uses closed-case electronic calibration; no internal mechanical adjustments are required. The instru-
ment calculates correction factors based on input reference values that you set and stores correction factors in non-vol-
atile memory until the next calibration adjustment is performed. This data is not changed by cycling power or *RST.
Agilent Technologies Calibration Services
Your local Agilent Technologies Service Center offers low-cost recalibration. The service center uses automated cal-
ibration systems that allow Agilent to provide calibration at competitive prices.
