Voltage Mode Calibration

Voltage Mode Calibration
Voltage 1. Disconnect the load from the power supply which is to be calibrated.
Calibration
2. Connect a voltmeter across the power supply's output terminals.
Setup

Voltage
1. Set the power supply for calibration as in Figure 4.1.
Program
2. Activate calibration mode by sending command CMODE ON or CMODE 1 to
Calibration
Procedure
3. Send command VLO; ILO to the power supply. Measure and record the output
4. Send command VHI; IHI to the supply. Measure and record the output voltage
5. Send the command VDATA <vlo>,<vhi> where <vlo> and <vhi> are the values
6. Program the supply at various levels using the VSET command to confirm that
7. Turn off calibration mode by sending the command CMODE OFF or CMODE 0
