Dear members
I have an HP 11683A Range Calibrator that I use to calibrate various HP/Agilent power meters, like for example the E4416, E4418B, E4419B, etc. I have seen the schematics of the 11683A on his service manual, but I'm having trouble on understanding how could I simulate the use of this calibrator with a DC Voltage source and a 3458A DMM.
I don't see on which pins of the power meter cable should I apply a controlled DC voltage to calibrate the power meter, nor how these DC voltage translates in a power measurement. Any help on how to achive this would be most welcome.
Sincere regards,
Marco

Might be able to skip disconnecting the inside power supply and just unplug the thing and supply it with DC in that reference out connector but that didn't occur to me until after I had done the deed. Switches on the front panel are all bypassed.
