464 VT1529A/B Verification & Calibration Appendix C
The circuit diagram for the dummy load is:
Tes ts
Remote calibration (CAL:REMOTE? command) performs calibration against
the Remote Cal signal from the VT1422A which is traceable to a standard.
The procedures in the Verification section test functional performance.
They do not test the performance compared to specifications.
The assumed conditions for the performance verification tests are based on
the following specifications/conditions:
Minimum 1 hr warm-up for the VT1422A, VT1529A/B and Voltage Source.
• Test environment temperature 23 °C ± 1 °C.
• Linearity = ± 0.01% of reading (90-day specifications)
• *CAL? command executed before measurements. Executing CAL:TARE
automatically executes *CAL?.
• CAL:ZERO? executed within five minutes after *CAL?.
Verification
The purpose of the verification tests is to verify that the VT1529A/B is
functioning properly. Functional verification tests include:
