Connections for 20µA to 20mA range verification
2nA-2µA range accuracy
1.
With the power off, connect the voltage calibrator and Model 5156 Electrometer
Calibration Standard to the Model 6487 INPUT jack (
). Initially, make
connections to the 1G
Ω
resistor in the calibration standard.
2.
Turn on the Model 6487 and calibrator power. Allow them to warm up for one
hour.
3.
Set the Model 6487 to the 2nA range.
4.
With zero check enabled, zero correct the instrument and then disable zero check.
5.
Set the calibrator voltage to 0.0000V and make sure the output is turned on.
6.
Enable the Model 6487 REL mode. Leave REL enabled for the remainder of the
test.
