  • Page 30: Calibration Adjustment Procedures

    Calibration Adjustment Procedures This chapter includes calibration adjustment procedures for Keysight EL30000 Series Electronic Load. Instructions are applicable for performing the procedures from either the front panel or a controller over the LAN, USB, or GPIB. Perform the verification tests before calibrating your instrument. If the instrument passes the verification tests, the unit is operating within its calibration limits and does not need to be re-calibrated.
