In order to calibrate the GX2065 the user must have access to a high accuracy, comprehensive calibrator such as the Fluke 5522A and a 6 ½ digit reference DMM (for resistance and VDC measurements). Alternatively, an 8 ½ DMM and a stable reference source may be used as a substitute the calibrator. The calibrator or DMM/Source must support the following functions: DC voltage, AC voltage, DC current, AC current, 2 Wire Resistance, and 4 Wire Resistance. The calibrator or reference source must be able to supply +/- 300 DC Volts, 300 AC Volts, 2A DC Current, and 2A AC Current. The calibrator or reference must also be able provide up to 100 M Ohm of resistance for 2Wire and support 4Wire mode.
The following table provides a guideline on the accuracy specifications required from the Calibrator:

Hardware Requirements
Allow the GX2065 DMM to warm up for at least 2 hours before performing calibration.
