6 Performance Tests and Calibration
Calibration Overview
This manual contains procedures for verifying the
instrument performance, as well as procedures for making
adjustments where necessary.
The performance test procedure verifies that the U1253B
true RMS OLED multimeter is operating within its published
specifications. The adjustment procedure ensure that the
multimeter remains within its specifications until the next
calibration.
Closed-case electronic calibration
The U1253B true RMS OLED multimeter features closed- case
electronic calibration. In other words, no internal
electro- mechanical adjustment is required. This instrument
calculates correction factors based on the input reference
signals you feed into it during the calibration process. The
new correction factors are stored in nonvolatile EEPROM
memory until the next calibration (adjustment) is performed.
The contents of this nonvolatile EEPROM memory will not
change even when the power is switched off.
Agilent Technologies’ calibration services
When your instrument is due for calibration, contact your
local Agilent Service Center to enquire about recalibration
services.
Make sure you have read “Test Considerations” on page 142 before
calibrating the instrument.
