*Command short form shown.
To calibrate the Model 6517A voltage source.
See Table 3-7.
See Table 3-7.
The :V commands calibrate the Model 6517A voltage source. Each calibration point uses two
commands. First, the :VSET command is used to program the voltage source for a specific out-
put voltage. An accurate voltmeter is then used to measure the actual output voltage, and that
value is then sent back to the Model 6517A with the :VRC command to compensate for any dis-
crepancies between the programmed source value and actual output voltage.
1. All commands for a given range (100V or 1000V) should be sent to properly calibrate that
range.
2. The appropriate VSET must be sent before the corresponding VSRC command.
