10. Call niDMM_CalAdjustGain with the following parameters:
• Mode = 
NIDMM_VAL_DC_VOLTS
• Range = 10
• Input Resistance = NIDMM_VAL_GREATER_THAN_10_GIGAOHM
• Expected Measurement = 10
11. Output –10 V on the calibrator.
12. Call 
niDMM_CalAdjustGain with the following parameters:
• Mode = 
NIDMM_VAL_DC_VOLTS
• Range = 10
• Input Resistance = NIDMM_VAL_GREATER_THAN_10_GIGAOHM
• Expected Measurement = –10
13. Disconnect the Fluke 5440 cable from the NI 4070/4072 banana plug 
connectors, leaving the other end of the cable connected to the 
calibrator binding posts.
14. Plug in the insulated banana plug shorting bar across the HI and LO 
banana plug connectors of the NI 4070/4072.
15. Wait two minutes for the thermal EMF to stabilize.
16. Call 
niDMM_CalAdjustOffset with the following parameters:
• Mode = 
NIDMM_VAL_DC_VOLTS
• Range = 10
• Input Resistance = NIDMM_VAL_GREATER_THAN_10_GIGAOHM
17. Call niDMM_CalAdjustMisc with Type set to 
NIDMM_EXTCAL_MISCCAL_VREF.
18. Call 
niDMM_CalAdjustOffset with the following parameters:
• Mode = 
NIDMM_VAL_DC_VOLTS
• Range = 0.1
• Input Resistance = NIDMM_VAL_10_MEGAOHM
19. Remove the shorting bar, and plug the Fluke 5440 cable back into the 
NI 4070/4072 banana plug connectors, as shown in Figure 1.
20. Wait one minute for the thermal EMF to stabilize.
21. Output 10 MΩ from the calibrator without external sense. 
22. Call 
niDMM_CalAdjustGain with the following parameters:
• Mode = NIDMM_VAL_2_WIRE_RES
• Range = 10e6
• Input Resistance = NIDMM_VAL_RESISTANCE_NA
• Expected Value = the display on the calibrator for 10 MΩ
