160 Voltage/Current Output Adjustment
2. Install the terminal module.
3. Apply power and allow a 15 minute warm-up.
Voltage output adjustment uses two of the

CALibrationn:VALue:VOLTage?
The general procedure for channel voltage adjustment is:
1. Make the connections shown in Figure D-2 or D-3.
2. Send the
CALibration
and read the response until a 1 is returned (typically the first query
response).
3. Read the voltage output on the DMM.
4. Send the DMM value read with the
query.
5. Enter the query response.
6. Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 until the
query returns a 0.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each channel.
The first query, CALibration
calibration mode and returns a 1 when the channel is ready for calibration.
When a 1 is returned, the channel output voltage is set to the first
adjustment point.
Read the output voltage on the DMM and return the value obtained using

indicating the calibration state of the channel. Any non-zero return from
this query indicates additional values are needed.
Each channel will require multiple iterations of the
CALibration n :VALue:VOLTage?
maximum of 50 queries, will be required at each channel. During the
process, the output voltage will range from +16 V to -16 V and the last
values output will be at or near 0 volts.
