Improved verification of a 55XX Series Multi-Product Calibrator with an 8588A Reference Multimeter (428.74 KB)

Simplifying calibrator verification and calibration

The 8588A Reference Multimeter has greatly simplified and improved the verification and calibration adjustment processes used in 55XXA Series Multi-Product Calibrators. Compared to the previous model—the 8508A Reference Multimeter—the 8588A features more measurement functions and better uncertainties, which help to improve and simplify the metrology required to support multi-product calibrators and similar instrumentation.

This application note describes how the 8588A has been improved and offers guidance to metrologists to help them integrate these new capabilities into their organizations’ metrology practices.
