CAUTION
Please refer to the power supply operation manual for further information before
performing calibration procedures. Only qualified personnel who deal with
attendant hazards in power supplies, are allowed to perform calibration procedures.
If calibration is not performed properly, functional problems could arise, requiring
that the supply be returned to the factory.

INTRODUCTION

10.1
The Asterion DC Power Supply is calibrated to adjust internal signal levels to
correspond to the expected supply output signal levels.
calibration procedures if the power supply's programming or readback performance
falls out of specification due to component aging drifts. Refer to your power supply
operation manual to find the required calibration interval. The Asterion DC Power
Supply is calibrated for output voltage programming and output current programming.
The calibration procedures in the following sections are designed to be performed at
ambient temperature of 25°C + 5°C, after the unit has had a stable output and a stable
load for at least 30 minutes.
The following test equipment is required in addition to the computer system to
complete the following calibration:
•
Model HP 344401A or equivalent 6-digit digital voltmeter (DVM)
•
Current shunt rated for an accuracy of 0.05% or better and a minimum of 125%
of the UUT full scale output current
NOTE: All calibration procedures steps should be performed. Omitting any step or
applicable section may affect the specified performance of the unit.
The CAL:MOD:LASTCALDATE and CAL:MOD:NEXTCALDATE commands (Section
9.11) should be issued once calibration procedures have been performed.
