Panel MCU U3 controls the functions of panel module. Communication

between the panel module and the main board module is accomplished
through a 4-wire bidirectional serial interface. The panel MCU sends a key
scanning signal sequentially to the keypad via scan lines to detect the status
of keys. In a similar manner, the key data are sent back sequentially through
data lines.

If any key is pressed, a key down parameter will be sent to panel MCU. Panel
MCU U3 interprets the key down data and sends the data to the main
controller on the main board module. Main controller U1601 will operate
according to the received data, and then return the result to U3. According
to the result from U1601, U3 sends control signals to the VFD (vacuum
fluorescent display) for correct display and to beeper to generate a beep.

Filament voltage for the VFD is derived from the power supply transformer.
A 50Hz/60Hz detecting circuit consists of comparator U4 detects the

29
frequency of supply voltage AC2 from the transformer and then informs
main controller to set PLC (Power Line Cycle) parameters. Panel MCU will
response automatically according to the detecting result to make the VFD
operating properly.

3.4 Main Board Module

The main board module of M3500A consists of power supply circuit, analog
front-end circuit, ADC and MCU, and main control circuit. The block diagram

The purpose of the analog front-end circuit is to converter the input signals
from the front or rear terminal to ADC (analog-to-digital converter) input.
The block diagram of the analog front-end circuit of M3500A is shown in
Figure 3-5.

The purpose of the function switching circuit is to connect the input terminal
to the various functions. All measurement signals are changed to a DC
voltage and then sent to the function switching circuit. The amplifier in the
function switching circuit converts the voltage to a properly value according
to the function which is selected and then send it to the A-to-D converter
through the PGA circuit.

The PGA circuit switches the various signals for measurement. In addition to
the input signal, it also switches among reference and zero signals at various
phases of the measurement cycle.

DC input signals from Input-HI terminal are routed via a protection circuit to
the function switching circuit. If an overload condition occurs, the protection
circuit will disconnect the analog input signal from the rest of the analog
circuit. For the 100 VDC and 1000 VDC ranges, the protection circuit is open
and input DC voltage is through a DCV divider R204 to the function switching

32
circuit.

The ACI or DCI input signal is applied to the current shunt circuit from the
Input-I terminal and a relay is used to select shunts. For 10mA DC and
100mA DC ranges, a 5.1 Ω resistance is shunted across the input. For the
other DCI and all ACI ranges, a 0.1 Ω shunt is used. Since the shunt
resistance is known, a voltage proportional to the input current is generated
and measured by the function switching circuit.

Resistance measurements are made by applying a known current through

an unknown resistance. The current from OHMS current source makes a
voltage drop across the unknown resistance. The resulting voltage drop is
then routed through the protection circuit and measured by the function
switching circuit. For 4-wire ohms measurements, Sense-HI and Sense-LO
are connected to the function switching circuit, too.

AC input voltage from the Input-HI terminal is sent to a RMS to DC converter

via protection circuit. RMS to DC converter changes the input AC voltage to
a DC voltage and then sends it to the function switching circuit. All voltage
ranging is performed in the converter circuit so that the input of the function
switching circuit is nominally 2 VDC for a full scale AC input.

The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is used to change dc voltage into
digital information. The digital signals are then sent to the main controller on
the main board module through opto-couplers to calculate readings. The
voltage reference circuit is used to provide precision voltage reference for
the multimeter.

A microprocessor (front-end processor), U2001, controls the functions of

ADC and the analog front-end circuit to make sure the analog-to-digital
conversions are performed properly. The output data of the ADC circuit are
then sent to the main controller on the main board module through the Tx
lines via opto-couplers.

When the multimeter is triggered, an analog-to-digital conversion is

performed. The ADC starts by clearing the integrator slope count in the
front-end MCU, and the slope count is latched at the end of the integration
period. The slope count provides the most significant bits of the input
voltage conversion.

All measurement control and bus command interpretation is performed in
the main controller (DSP) U1601, and the panel processor U3 and front-end
processor U2001 operate as slaves to the DSP. The main controller (DSP) is
a 16-bit fixed-point Digital Signal Processor. It has parallel and serial ports
to control various circuits, such as USB and COMM interface.

A conventional address/data bus is used to transfer data between the DSP

and the external RAM U1701 and flash memory. The flash memory is used to
store the firmware for M3500A operation and calibration data, and the
external RAM provides temporary operating storage.

The clock frequency of the DSP is controlled by an oscillating circuit consists

of a 10 MHz crystal.

3.5 Self-test

Self-test procedures are built in M3500A for checking that the logic and
measurement hardware are functioning properly. Every time when the
multimeter is powered on, a set of test procedures is performed to make
sure the basic function of the multimeter works properly. If any error occurs
during self-test procedures, it indicates that parts of the multimeter are not
operating properly and need to be serviced.

Warning! Erroneous self-test failures may occur if the setting of

power line voltage is incorrect. Errors may also occur because of signals
present on the input terminal (front and rear) during self-test procedure.
Long test leads can act as an antenna causing pick-up of ac signals.

Or users may execute a complete self-test by front panel operation. This test
procedure provides more tests for the hardware of M3500A than the
power-on tests. Please follow the procedure below to perform the complete
self-test.

Procedure: MENU → SYSTEM → SELF TEST

35
After self-test procedure, the result, PASS or FAIL, will be shown. If the
result is FAIL, the “ERR” annunciator on the display panel will be lit, and
error codes will be stored. You can check the error codes by the following
procedure.

Procedure: MENU → SYSTEM → ERROR

The descriptions of self-test procedures are listed below including test

number, purpose, test setup, and failure criteria.

601 Front panel does not respond The main CPU U1601 attempts to
establish serial communications with the front panel processor U3.
Communication must function in both directions for this test to pass.

602 RAM read/write failed This test writes and reads a 55h and AAh
checker board pattern to each address of ram U1701. Any incorrect read
back will cause a test failure. This error is only readable from the remote
interface.

6 Simple Calibration Procedures
If users’ multimeters need detailed calibration service, contact Picotest Corp
for more information. If users only want to do the basic calibration for Zero
& Gain adjustments, please follow the procedures below.

6.1 The Calibration Security Code

To prevent from unauthorized or abusive calibrations, generally, the
M3500A is secured by a specific code. As an M3500A needs calibration,
operators have to input a security code. Then, the M3500A would just enter
the calibration mode. The decoding procedures are in the following.

MENU > PREV > CAL MENU > ENTER > SECURED > ENTER > CODE > ENTER
> input 123456 (by using the UP button in the Range area & NEXT button) >
ENTER

Users can execute the calibration/adjustment procedures by entering

UNSECURED > NEXT > CALIBRATE > ENTER.

 Note 1: The factory default is “123456”, which is burned in the

permanent memory of the M3500A. If the default needs to be defined
for purposes, please use PT-SET software.

6.2 The Zero Adjustment

Please follow the procedures A, B and C to do the Zero adjustment.

A. Use the CALIBRATE SHORT PIN as shown below to plug into the front
panel terminals of the M3500A. Then, warm it up in 3 minutes as the
M3500A is given power.

B. After lifting the security, please do the Zero adjustment by the operation
procedures, such as UNSECURED > NEXT > CALIBRATE > ENTER (The
display will show “input full scale”)> input +0.000000E-1 (by using the

85
 UP button in the Range area & NEXT button)> ENTER. At the moment,
the DISPLAY will show “calibrating”. Please note that if the operation
procedures are failed, the Calibrate Short isn’t inserted or the input
setting value is not +0.000000E-1, an Error message will appear (refer
to Table-2).

C. When it’s done for the Zero Test, the Display of the M3500A will show Cali
OK. Users can press ESC to exit.

6.3 The Gain Adjustment for DCV, DCI, 4W & FREQ

Please follow the procedures A, B and C to do the adjustment.

A. Connect a standard source and select a specific function and range for
adjustment, and set the Resolution into SLOW 6 1/2 by pressing CONFIG
> ENTER > RESOLUTION > NEXT > SLOW 6 1/2. The standard source
value has to correspond to the specific function and range with full scale
on the M3500A, i.e. multiply 0.9 to 1.1 with full scale. For instance, the
DC full scale’s value is 100 mV, the standard output value should be from
90 to 110 mV (refer to Table-1).

B. After lifting the security by pressing UNSECURED > NEXT > CALIBRATE
> ENTER > By using the UP button in the Range area & NEXT button to
input a value which should be the one multiplying 0.9 to 1.1 with full
scale (The display will show “input full scale”), such as the range value of
the DC 100 mV should be between +0.900000E-01 and +1.100000E-01
(refer to table-1) > ENTER to do the adjustment. Please note that if the
operation procedures are failed or the output source value and the
setting value overflow the range, an Error message will appear (refer to
Table-2).

C. When it’s done, the Display of the M3500A will show Cali OK. Users can
press ESC to exit. In addition, users have to note that…
 When the resistance function is under adjustment, it’s available
that users only execute the 4W adjustment because the value on
4W is the same as the value on 2W. In addition, the adjustment for
the range 100MΩ is not supported.
 When the DCI function is under adjustment, the adjustment for the
range 3A is not supported.
 When the FREQ function is under adjustment, the input voltage has
to be greater than 100 mV.
 When the DCV range 1000V is selected, the full scale value after
multiplying 0.9 to 1.1 only can tolerate the voltage from 900 to
1050V at most.

86
 6.4 The Gain Adjustment for ACV
Please follow the procedures A and B to do the adjustment.

A. To do ACV adjustment, the standard source with a required setting 1 KHz

needs to be connected, and the BAND WIDTH 20 Hz has to be selected by
pressing SHIFT > ACV > BAND WIDTH > NEXT > 20 Hz > ENTER. Then,
choose a specific range. And follow the next procedures to operate.
 Set the standard input voltage at source side in 10 % relative to a
range with full scale on the M3500A, and the 10% value of the full
scale must be between the value multiplying 0.9 and 1.1. (For
instance, when users adjust the M3500A’s AC range to 100 mV, the
output voltage of the standard source must be between 9 to 11 mV.
And the frequency must be 1 KHz.) Then lift the security by
pressing UNSECURED > NEXT > CALIBRATE > ENTER > And by
using the UP button in the Range area & NEXT button to input a
value which must be between the value multiplying 0.9 to 1.1 with
full scale. After that the M3500A will show a 10% value with full
scale. (For instance, the setting must be between +0.900000E-02
and +1.100000E-02 at the AC range 100 mV.) > ENTER to do the
adjustment.
 After executing the adjustment of the 10% with full scale on the
M3500A, the display will show “input full scale”. Please set the
standard input voltage at source side in 100 % relative to a range
with full scale on the M3500A, and the 100% value of the full scale
must be between the value multiplying 0.9 and 1.1. (For instance,
when users adjust the M3500A’s AC range to 100 mV, the output
voltage of the standard source must be between 90 and 110 mV.
And the frequency must be 1 KHz.) Then by using the UP button in
the Range area & NEXT button to input a demand value which must
be 100% with full scale, and its value must be between multiplying
0.9 and 1.1. (For instance, the setting must be between
+0.900000E-01 and +1.100000E-01 at the AC range 100 mV.) >
ENTER to do the adjustment.

B. When it’s done, the Display of the M3500A will show Cali OK. Users can
press ESC to exit. In addition, users have to note that…
 When the ACV range 750V is selected, the 10% value of the full
scale multiplying 0.9 to 1.1 is between 67.5V and 82.5V. But the
100% value of the full scale multiplying 0.9 to 1.1 is only between
675V and 770V at most.
 The ACI function adjustment is not supported.

6.5 Calibration Count

The calibration count will be increased from finishing calibration each time.
According to the calibration procedures on various points, a full calibration
will generate the count number more than one, and it will be recorded in the
permanent memory of the M3500A.

 Note 2: The factory default for each M3500A is 0. If the count number
exceeds 32767. The number will turn into 0.

6.6 Calibration Date

The M3500A will record a calibrated and a future calibration dates as the
factory default. Please note that the dates are not allowed to be revised.

6.7 The Calibration Error Messages

Please take a look at the following messages (Table-2) as calibration errors
