TB 9-6625-2335-35
IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. Test Instrument
Identification. This
procedure provides instructions for the
calibration of Multimeter, Hewlett-Packard, Model 3457A. The manufacturer's manual
was used as the prime data source in compiling these instructions. The equipment being
calibrated will be referred to as the TI (test instrument) throughout this procedure.
a. Model Variations None.
b. Time and Technique. The time
required for this
calibration is
approximately 2
hours, using the dc and low frequency technique.
2. Forms,
Records, and
Reports
a. Forms, records, and
reports required for
calibration personnel at all
levels are
prescribed by TB 750-25.
b. All software adjustments made are reportable. Report software adjustments
made using parameter and range failing performance check; i.e., 3 V dc, 300 V ac.
