CALIBRATION / VERIFICATION OVERVIEW
To verify the 3000 Series calibrators, it is necessary to measure the outputs from each
range and compare them to the published specifications. Linearity checks should also be
performed.
A basic verification procedure would be typically as little as 60 tests, although a full
procedure may be as many as 400 tests. Please see www.transmille.com for an example
3000 Series certificate. When using Transmille PROCAL calibration software, a fully
automated verification & calibration procedure is available for approved service centres.
Adjustment can be made using two methods – either direct front panel adjustment or
adjustment using a PC based Virtual Front Panel software package (optional) with the
calibrator connected to the PC RS232 interface.
WARNING : RISK OF SHOCK
THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD ONLY BE ATTEMPTED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
To prevent unauthorised use of the VFP software, a password is required before access is
granted. Adjustment can be completed without disassembly of the calibrator.
Each function e.g. DC voltage, AC Current, Resistance etc. has several ranges. Each
range has one or more calibration constants. See table below.
3000 Series adjustment allows any calibration constant to be adjusted independently of
any other, therefore it is possible to adjust a single range without needing to adjust any
other points. Altering the calibration constants directly changes the calibrators output.
Adjusting the calibrator simply involves changing the constant until the output reads
correctly.
DC Voltage : Zero : + Full Scale : - Full Scale
AC Voltage : Zero : Full Scale @ 206Hz : Frequency Response
DC Current : Zero : + Full Scale : - Full Scale
AC Current : Zero : Full Scale @ 206Hz : Frequency Response
Resistance : 2 Wire & 4 Wire value for each resistance
Capacitance : Value for each Capacitor
Inductance : Value for each Inductor
Linearity is inherent within the design of the D to A in the calibrator and does not need to
be adjusted.

ADJUSTMENT OVERVIEW –
USING 3000 SERIES VIRTUAL FRONT PANEL SOFTWARE
1) Install virtual front panel software.
2) Connect 30xx to computer RS232 port
3) Allow all equipment to stabilise for at least 4 hours.
4) Run virtual front panel program.
5) Select range & output to be adjusted using the virtual front panel program.
6) Enter calibration control mode. (Password required).
7) Press ‘Start’ to enable adjustment. A ‘C’ will appear on the calibrator display.
8) Adjust calibration constant until the output of the calibrator is correct. The constants for
each range must be adjusted in the correct sequence. See following pages for
details.
9) Press the store button to save the constant.
(Changing range will also store the constant.)
Press the ‘abort’ button to abandon calibration of the range being adjusted.
10) Select next range to be adjusted.
11) Close calibration control panel and exit virtual front panel program
Starting the virtual control program
1) Install the Virtual front panel program onto computer from CD supplied.
The CD will auto-run. Select ‘utilities’ and follow installation instructions.
2) Connect RS232 cable between computer and calibrator.
3) Run the Virtual front panel program.
4) Select Comm port
5) Click the ‘Show Calibration Control Button’

AC Current Adjustment
1) Connect the screened test leads between 30xx Current terminals and DMM Current
input.
2) Set HP3458A to ACI, NPLC 30.SETACV SYNC, LFILTER 1, LFREQ LINE
3) Select MATH OFF on DMM
4) Select ACI on FUNCTION SELECTION SCREEN.
5) Click Show Calibration Control Button
6) Click 200uA Button
The adjustment procedure is the same as AC Voltage, calibrate zero, positive full scale
and frequency points as shown in the table below.
For 2A range adjustment, connect a 1 Ohm standard resistor to the 30xx output and
measure voltage on the V terminals of the resistor with the DMM on the 2V AC range
For 20/30A range adjustment, use a 0.1 Ohm standard resistor.

Resistance Adjustment - 2 wire
0 Ohms to 10 kOhm ranges
1) Select 2 wire Ohms function on ‘function selection screen’. Click ‘show calibration
control’..
2) Set HP3458A to OHMS4, NPLC 30, AUTO RANGE
3) Use 2 sets of shrouded test leads connected as shown above
4) Select 0 Ohms and note reading on DMM
Repeat this procedure for resistance ranges from 100mOhms to 10kOhms.
6) Type the DMM
reading in this box and
click the ‘send cal factor’
button.
7) The reading here &
on the 30xx should
now be the same as
the reading on the
DMM. If not, enter the
DMM reading again
as in step 6

100kOhms to 1GOhm ranges
1) Connect screened test leads between 30xx Voltage terminals and DMM Voltage input.
2) Set HP3458A to OHMS2, NPLC 30, AUTO RANGE
3) Select 2 wire Ohms from FUNCTION SELECTION SCREEN
4) Select 100k Ohms and note reading on DMM
Adjust value as in steps 6 & 7 on previous page.
Repeat for 1MOhm, 10MOhm, 100MOhm and 1GOhm. (Note that 2040/2005 calibrators
do not have a 1GOhm range)
