9.6. SPECIAL CALIBRATION REQUIREMENTS FOR DUAL RANGE
OR AUTO RANGE
If Dual Range or Auto Range is selected, then it should be calibrated for both Range1 and Range2 separately.
For zero and span point calibration, follow the procedure described in Section 8.2. Repeat the procedure for both the
HIGH and LO
W Ranges
