Calibration Overview
Closed-case Electronic Calibration
The multimeter features closed-case electronic calibration. No internal
mechanical adjustments are required. The multimeter calculates correction
factors based upon the input reference value you set. The new correction factors
are stored in non-volatile memory until the next calibration adjustment is
performed. Non-volatile EEPROM calibration memory does not change when
power has been off.
Calibration Interval
A 2-year interval is adequate for most applications. Keysight does not recommend
extending calibration intervals beyond 2 years for any application.
Adjustment is Recommended
Specifications are only guaranteed within the period stated from the last
adjustment. Whatever calibration interval you select, Keysight recommends that
complete re-adjustment should always be performed at the calibration interval.
This will assure that the U1241AN will remain within specification for the next
calibration interval. This criteria for re-adjustment provides the best long–term
stability. Performance data is measured during performance verification tests and
does not guarantee that the multimeter will operate within the test limits unless
the adjustment is performed.
Refer to
to verify that all adjustments have been
performed.
NOTE
Ensure that you have read
on page 63 before calibrating
the multimeter.
