Document Number: 3700S-901-01 Rev. A / August 2007
Signals the desired DC calibration step on the DMM.
dmm.calibration.dc(step, value)
step: Represents the DC calibration step to perform
value: Represents the associated value for the specified step. This is an optional
parameter; only use if step has a value associated. If no value is needed, use
dmm.calibration.dc(step).
Use this command to indicate the desired DC calibration step to perform on the DMM.
This command will generate an error if the step is out of sequence, does not exist, or
the calibration is locked. An error will be generated if the calibration step does not
complete successfully or if the value passed is invalid for the step (out of range or not
needed).
