18-14 Performance Verification
7. Verify current measurement accuracy for each of the currents listed in Table 18-4. For
each test point:
• Make connections to the indicated calibration standard resistor.
• Select the correct Model 6514 measurement range.
• Calculate the actual required calibrator voltage: V = IR, where I is the desired applied
current, and R is the actual standard resistor value.
• Set the calibrator to the calculated voltage.
•Verify that Model 6514 current reading is within the reading limits listed in the table.
8. Repeat the procedure for negative source currents with the same magnitudes as those
listed in Table 18-4.
