12. Set the input resistance of the NI 4070/4072 to 10 MΩ by calling 
niDMM_SetAttributeViReal64 with the following parameters:
• Attribute_ID = 
NIDMM_ATTR_INPUT_RESISTANCE
• Attribute_Value = NIDMM_VAL_10_MEGAOHM 
13. Call 
niDMM_Read. Verify that this measurement falls between the 
limits listed in Table 15.
14. Call 
niDMM_ConfigureMeasurement with the following 
parameters:
• Function = 
NIDMM_VAL_DC_VOLTS
• Range = 100 
• Resolution = 100e–6
15. Set the input resistance of the NI 4070/4072 to 10 MΩ by calling 
niDMM_SetAttributeViReal64 with the following parameters:
• Attribute_ID = 
NIDMM_ATTR_INPUT_RESISTANCE
• Attribute_Value = NIDMM_VAL_10_MEGAOHM 
16. Call 
niDMM_Read. Verify that this measurement falls between the 
limits listed in Table 15.
17. Call 
niDMM_ConfigureMeasurement with the following 
parameters:
• Function = 
NIDMM_VAL_DC_VOLTS
• Range = 300
• Resolution = 300e–6
18. Set the input resistance of the NI 4070/4072 to 10 MΩ by calling 
niDMM_SetAttributeViReal64 with the following parameters:
• Attribute_ID = 
NIDMM_ATTR_INPUT_RESISTANCE
• Attribute_Value = NIDMM_VAL_10_MEGAOHM 
19. Call 
niDMM_Read. Verify that this measurement falls between the 
limits listed in Table 15.
20. Remove the shorting bar from the NI 4070/4072.
21. Reset the calibrator.
22. Fasten the connectors on one end of the Fluke 5440 cable to the 
appropriate banana plug connectors of the NI 4070/4072, and fasten 
the connectors on the other end of the cable to the appropriate 
calibrator binding posts. Figure 1 shows the correct connections. 
Table 1 lists the cable connections.
