RIGOL Chapter 3 Performance Test
Service Guide for DM3058
Calibration Interval
In order to keep the accuracy while measuring, the meter must be calibrated
periodically, and the calibration interval depends on the requirements for accuracy of
measurement,
As for the applications needs higher accuracy, 90 day‟s intervals are recommended;
besides, 1 year‟s interval is acceptable in most cases.
No matter in what kind of applications, RIGOL does not recommend the calibration
interval is more than 1 year.
Calibration Instructions
RIGOL suggests you do a completer calibration within interval regardless of what
kind of interval you have selected so as to ensure the accuracy of the meter is not
going beyond the specifications within next interval.
Except for recalibrate the meter, or even though pass the performance test still can
not ensure the meter is within the limits of test.
Testing Equipments
The equipments in table 3-1 are recommended for testing DM3058 Digital Multimeter
(also for calibration). If the exact equipment is not available, use the one that can
meet the Accuracy Requirement shown in the following table. .
