Purpose

Parameters
Description
Reference
Example
Use to send calibration values over the bus.
Annn.nnE-nn
nnn.nnE-nn = On-range calibration va$e using exponent.
NOTE: Only as many significant digits as necessary need be sent (i.e., send 1.9E-9
instead of OOl.gOE-09).
In general, calibration of the Model 595 over the IEEE-488 bus consists of applying
a precise calibration signal to the Model 595 input and sending the corresponding
calibration value over the bus using the A command.
CAUTION
Precision calibration signals must be connected to the instrument before
attempting calibration, otherwise instrument accuracy will be affected.
Section 7, Maintenance, provides complete details on calibrating the instrument from
either the front panel or over the bus.
A sample program to calibrate the instrument over the bus can be found in Section
7 of this manual.
