Hello all, 

I have been agonizing over transverse balance measurements and if anyone could 
help I would be very grateful!

When measuring analog transverse balance, first a 600 ohm reference resistor is 
connected to calibrate the jig, then the resistor is replaced by the EUT.  No 
problem.

However in procedure 9.2 of TSB 31B for digital balance measurements, 

step 1 says, "Connect the EUT AND the reference resistor to the test 
circuit...,"   

step 6 says "Reverse the polarity of the tip and ring pair under test...,"

step 7 says REPLACE the calibration resistor with one tip and ring pair.  

It seems odd to calibrate a jig with an EUT connected.  Does anyone have an 
opinion on when to connect the the reference resistor and EUT?
