Calibration Harness Connections using GT96109

The following diagram shows the calibration harness connections in order to calibrate the GX3348 board. Calibration / verification of the instrument requires the use of a 1K ohm load resistor (user supplied). Using a dual stackable banana plug, install the load resistor in the banana plug and secure with the banana plug’s set screws. Plug this assembly into the DMM’s Hi and Lo terminals and plug the P1 banana plug into the stackable banana plug.
