Device is very precise equipment and requires being autocalibrated in some time intervals.
Autocalibration automatically adjusts device's parameters in relation to temperature and other factors
to be able to guarantee its specification.
During this autocalibration (takes approx. 10 seconds) device is not measuring input signals because
of internal calibration process. Impulse output (adjusted after every period of measured signal) is during
autocalibration holding its state (last measured value).
Device is as default configured so, that autocalibration is started automatically every 10 minutes (in first
30 minutes of device's operation is this period 5 minutes). User should disable this feature always before
important measuring (typically before starting generation of some loadpoint) and enable it again after
end of this measuring (after stopping loadpoint). This is recommended operation of device in Meter Test
Equipments and ensures:
•
autocalibration between loadpoints or in idle state of equipment,
•
no influence of autocalibration on measured values during loadpoints.
Start and state of autocalibration can be controlled by menu Calibration or by remote interface
commands:
SYSTem:CALib:AUTo?
Request for the state of the automatic call of the device autocalibration (SHORT
SELFCALIBRATION). Answer is : ON (autocalibration is enabled) or OFF (disabled).
SYSTem:CALib:AUTo {<state = 0 | 1 >}
Setting of the state of device autocalibration (SHORT SELFCALIBRATION).
Parameter is 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled).
SYSTem:CALib:SELF { SHORT | FULL }
Start of the autocalibration (SELFCALIBRATION). Parameter SHORT initiates short and parameter
FULL complete autocalibration.
SYSTem:STATus?
Request for the status of the device.
Answer is: -1 (calibration or selfcalibration is in progress), 1 (classic measurement mode is activated),
2 (OPS Measurement Mode is activated) or 0.
