Why Do I Get an Input Impedance of 750K Ohms When Calibrating a PXI-5112?

Primary Software: Calibration Executive
Primary Software Version: 2.2
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A
Hardware: Modular Instruments>>High-Speed Digitizers (Scopes)>>PXI-5112

Problem: I am using a Datron/Wavetek 1281 (the 1281 is a 8.5 digit DMM) to measure the input impedance of a PXI-5112 with Calibration Executive. I expect to get an input impedance reading of 1MΩ on all ranges: 40V, 4V, and 0.4V.

The problem is when I run the test, I get an input impedance of 1MΩ on the 40 V and 4 V ranges. However, I only get an input impedance of 750 kΩ
on the 0.4V range.

Solution: On the Datron 1281 instrument: select the 10 MΩ range rather than the 1 MΩ range for the 50 mV, 20 mV, 10 mV and 6.2 mV ranges.
