Performing the Calibration Procedure

NOTE:

The calibration procedure can only be performed using the SCPI language
commands. Use either the front panel

Address

key to access the LANG

command, or use the SYSTem:LANGuage command to change the programming
language to SCPI.

Table B-1 lists the equipment required for calibration. Figure B-1 shows the test setup.

You do not have to do a complete calibration each time. If appropriate, you may calibrate only the
voltage or current and proceed to "Saving the Calibration Constants". However, the voltage or
current calibration sequence must be performed in its entirety. The following parameters may be
calibrated:

voltage programming and measurement

overvoltage protection (OVP)

current programming and measurement

negative current programming

low range measurement

ac current measurement

Front Panel Calibration Menu
