A Ranges
The equipment required for the alternating current accuracy verification test for the 2
mA and 200 µA ranges is listed in Table 3-10. Use Table 3-28 (5720A) or 3-29 (5700A0
for the test record.

Note
An explanation of the rationale for using metal film resistors to measure
ac current follows this procedure.
2. Set the Calibrator for precisely +2 mA dc using the correction from previously
recorded data, i.e. set the Calibrator error display to the value recorded for +2 mA dc
(Table 3-9 or 3-11).
3. When the 5790A settles on a reading, push the SET REF soft key on the 5790A.
4. Set the Calibrator for precisely -2 mA dc output using the correction from previously
recorded data, i.e., set the Calibrator error display to the value recorded for -2 mA
dc, in Table 3-10.
5. Press the AVG REF soft key on the 5790A after the 5790A reading settles.
6. Set the Calibrator to 2 mA at 10 Hz and OPERATE.
7. Record the error displayed on the 5790A in Table 3-28 or 3-29, and verify results are
within spec.
8. Return to the error corrected +2 mA DC output that was set in step 2. Verify that the
5790A display returns to a zero reading ±10 PPM. If necessary, repeat steps 2
through 6 until the required results are obtained.
