3. Wait two minutes for the thermal EMF to stabilize if the Fluke 5440
cables were not previously connected in this configuration.
4. Call
niDMM_reset.
5. Refer to Table 8 for the appropriate calibrator output and function
parameter values as you complete the following steps:
a. On the calibrator, output the value listed in the Calibrator Output
column in Table 8 for the current iteration. Make sure that the
external sense is turned on but 2-wire compensation is turned off.
Note After setting the calibrator output to 0 Ω in the seventh iteration, you do not need to
continually set the calibrator to 0 Ω for iterations 8 through 12.
b. Call
niDMM_ConfigureMeasurement with the parameters set
as shown in Table 8 for the current iteration.
c. Call
niDMM_ConfigureOffsetCompOhms with
OffsetCompOhms set to either
NIDMM_VAL_OFFSET_COMP_OHMS_ON or
NIDMM_VAL_OFFSET_COMP_OHMS_OFF according to Table 8 for
the current iteration.
d. Call
niDMM_Read. Verify that this measurement falls between the
tolerances listed in Table 17. Tolerances are provided instead of
absolute limits because your calibrator will have different discrete
resistance values.
