How can one calibrate a multimeter, like a UT61E or any other multimeter in the 50 ~200 $ pricemark, when one does NOT have an expensive FLUKE nor a friend who has a FLUKE)

Very generally and at the most basic, you need a precision voltage reference and resistors. Obtaining 0.1% is fairly easy, for resistors it's straightforward, and for voltage references look up "precision voltage reference" (something like this), and bias it with 0.1 to 1 mA. The actual calibration procedure will vary from meter to meter, so you will need to dig up the appropriate documents. |

Basically, there are lots of adjustable resistors on the multimeter PCB - don't forget to mark original positions of all of them before you start. You ether get a precision resistor references (read datasheet on temperature coefficient), or find a guy with precision equipment in your city to compare the readings. |

Send it to me, and send money for shipping back. I have 8.5 digit multimeters (0.0007% basic accuracy) and appropriate calibrators. |
