Performing the Calibration Procedure

NOTE:
The calibration procedure can only be performed from the front panel or using the SCPI
language commands.
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
♦
low range measurement
♦
ac current measurement
♦
internal DVM
