The Meter features closed-case calibration adjustment using known reference sources.
The Meter measures the applied reference source, calculates correction factors and stores
the correction factors in nonvolatile memory.
The following sections present the features and Meter pushbutton functions that can be
used during the Calibration Adjustment Procedure. Perform the Calibration Adjustment
Procedure should the Meter fail any performance test listed in Table 15.
