Performance Verification 18-15
Ohms measurement accuracy
Follow the steps below to verify that Model 6514 ohms function measurement accuracy is
within specified limits. This procedure involves applying accurate resistances from a resistance
calibrator or standard and then verifying that Model 6514 resistance measurements are within
required limits.
WARNING With the ohms function selected, the Model 6514 can output an open-circuit
voltage up to 250V. Place the unit in zero check when leads are not con-
nected.
2kΩ-20MΩ range accuracy
1. Connect the resistance calibrator to Model 6514 INPUT jack, as shown in Figure 18-4.
2. Select Model 6514 ohms function by pressing the Ω key, and set the calibrator to the
resistance function.
3. With zero check enabled, zero correct the instrument, then disable zero check.
4. Output 0Ω from the calibrator, and then press REL.
