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: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.
