Equipment and Other Test Requirements
This section describes the equipment, documentation, software, and test
conditions needed for calibration.

TestEquipment

Tables 1 and 2 list specifications for equipment you can use to calibrate
your NI 5102 with Calibration Executive.

Recommended Equipment

Table1 lists the equipment that National Instruments recommends for this
procedure.
Ifyou do not have the recommended instruments, use the accuracy
requirementslisted above to select a substitute calibration standard.
Refert o Table2 for a list of alternative instruments you can use for the
