CALibration:STORe

CALibration:STORe

loads the stored non-volatile memory calibration constants

with the calibration constants currently in use by the module.

Parameters

None.

Comments

This command sets the calibration constants in non-volatile memory if the CAL
Store Enable Jumper is properly set (see page 156). Non-volatile memory has
finite life, based upon the number of writes. Use this command sparingly.

At power-on, calibration constants stored in non-volatile memory are loaded into
the module where they are used during output operations.

When this command is received, the checksum is verified using the constants
currently in use by the module. If the checksum does not verify, the non-volatile
memory is not updated and an error is generated.

Refer to Appendix D, “ Voltage/Current Output Adjustment” , starting on page 154,
for additional information about this command.

CALibration:RESet

CALibration:TEST?

CALibration:TEST?

performs an internal rough check of the calibration of each

channel and returns an integer indicating the channel calibration condition.
Calibration is checked to approximately

±

2%.

Parameters

Returns: unsigned 16-bit integer (uint16).

Comments

Following the completion of this query all outputs are disabled and set to 0 Volts
or 0 Amps based on the channel mode.

This query returns a 16-bit integer indicating the calibration status of each channel.

Bits set to 0 indicate no calibration errors were found.

Bits set to 1 indicate a channel with questionable calibration.

Bits 0–15 correspond to channels 1–16, respectively.

If the trigger system is waiting for a trigger when this command is received, an
error is generated.
