For the DC voltage, DC current and resistance gain verification measurements, you should ensure the calibrator's "0" output is correct. You will need to set the offset for each range of the measuring function being verified. U2741A USB Modular 5.5 Digits Digital Multimeter Service Guide...
Shielded, twisted- pair, PTFE interconnect cables of a minimum length are recommended between the calibrator and the multimeter. Cable shields should be earth ground referenced. This configuration is recommended for optimal noises and settling time performance during calibration. U2741A USB Modular 5.5 Digits Digital Multimeter Service Guide...
