Calibration Information

The Agilent U2802A is factory calibrated and the calibration constants are stored in the EEPROM. During initial setup, the calibration constants are read from the EEPROM before any measurements are taken.

Zeroing Function

The Agilent U2802A thermocouple input device operating in thermocouple mode can be set to zero mode, where the differential inputs of each channel are shorted together. This zeroing function is used to measure the total system offset errors due to initial offset error, temperature drift error, and long term drift error from the DAQ (U2355A or U2356A) and the U2802A. This measurement can then be subtracted from subsequent measurements in order to remove the system offset error.
