Front Panel Calibration Procedure - Agilent Technologies 66111A User Manual

Front Panel Calibration Procedure

These procedures assume you understand how to operate front panel keys (see chapter 5). Make sure the
sense switch is set to Remote and the sense terminals are directly jumpered to the output terminals.
Calibration procedures can only be performed with the dc source set to the SCPI programming language.
Check the Language Setting
Action
1. Turn on the dc source, access the Address menu and scroll to the LANG:
command.
2. If the language is set to COMPatibility, change it to SCPI and press Enter. If the
language is already set to SCPI, just continue with the calibration procedure.
Enable Calibration Mode
Action
Reset the unit by selecting Output, scrolling to *RST and pressing Enter.
3.
Press Output On/Off to enable the output.
4.
To begin calibration press Shift Cal, scroll to CAL ON and press Enter.
5.
Enter the calibration password from Entry keypad and press Enter. lf the
6.
password is correct the Cal annunciator will come on.
If CAL DENIED appears, then an internal switch has been set to prevent the
calibration from being changed. (See the Service Manual.)
lf the password is incorrect, an error occurs. If the active password is lost, the
calibration function can be recovered by setting an internal switch that defeats
password protection. (See the Service Manual.)
Voltage Programming and Measurement Calibration
Action
7. Connect the external DMM (in voltage mode) directly to output 1.
Do not connect the load resistor or current shunt. Select output 1.
8. Press Shift Cal, scroll to CAL VOLT, and press Enter.
9. Press Shift Cal, scroll to CAL LEV, and press Enter to select the first
calibration point.
10. Press Shift Cal, scroll to CAL DATA, press Enter Number, and enter the
voltage value displayed on the DMM.
Press Shift Cal, scroll to CAL LEV, use É to scroll to P2 (the second
11.
calibration point), and press Enter.
Press Shift Cal, scroll to CAL DATA, press Enter Number, and enter the
12.
second voltage value displayed on the DMM.
