Calibration
Model 2701 Service Manual
Short and open calibration
1.
Connect the Model 8610 low-thermal short to the instrument INPUT and SENSE
terminals as shown in
Figure 2-1
. Make sure the INPUTS button is not pressed in so
that the front inputs are active. Wait at least three minutes before proceeding to allow
for thermal equilibrium.
NOTE
Be sure to connect the low-thermal short properly to the HI, LO, and SENSE termi-
nals. Keep drafts away from low-thermal connections to avoid thermal drift, which
could affect calibration accuracy.
2.
Send the following command:
:CAL:PROT:DC:STEP1
3.
After the Model 2701 completes this step, remove the low-thermal short and then send
this command:
:CAL:PROT:DC:STEP2
NOTE
Be sure to minimize movement near front Input terminals. Excessive movements can
cause capacitive coupling errors, which could affect calibration accuracy.
DC voltage calibration
After the front panel short and open steps, perform the following:
1.
Connect the calibrator to the Model 2701 as shown in
Figure 2-2
. Allow three minutes
for thermal equilibrium.
NOTE
Although 4-wire connections are shown, the sense leads are connected and discon-
nected at various points in this procedure by turning calibrator external sense on or
off as appropriate. If your calibrator does not have provisions for turning external
sense on and off, disconnect the sense leads when external sensing is to be turned off
and connect the sense leads when external sensing is to be turned on.
2.
Perform the calibration steps summarized in
Table 2-8
. For each step:
•
Set the calibrator to the indicated voltage and make sure the unit is in operate. (Use
the recommended voltage if possible.)
•
Send the indicated programming command. (Change the voltage parameter if you
are using a different calibration voltage.)
•
Wait until the Model 2701 completes each step before continuing.
