MultiCal Calibration:

A calibration cycle of 1 year is recommended to maintain the MultiCal within specifications.
Recommended equipment is listed in Table 1.

You do not need to use a reference multimeter if the MultiCal will be used with only one
multimeter. In those cases, your overall accuracy may be better if it is calibrated as a set with
the matching multimeter.
The recommended Digital Voltmeter listed in Table 1 has 10MΩ input impedance - as
do many handheld multimeters. Your reference multimeter should have the same input
impedance as the multimeters the module will be used with. In some cases this may mean
that the reference multimeter will need to have its input impedance lowered.
For example, a Flike 8840A is an excellent reference meter but has an input impedance Ω
10000MΩ. If the meters the module will be used with are Fluke 87s, connect a 10MΩ resistor
in parallel with the input to the 8840A.
