Section 4: Adjustment
5. Adjust each current range using the procedure summarized in the following table. Do the
following for each range:
Send the :SOURce:CURRent:RANGe command to select the source and sense range to
adjust. For example, for the 1 mA range, the command is:
:SOUR:CURR:RANG 1e-3
Program the source to output the negative full-range value using the :SOURce:CURRent
command. For example:
:SOUR:CURR -1e-3
Record the DMM reading in the "Current calibration adjustment data" table in
adjustment
Use the DMM reading as the parameter for the :CALibration:ADJ:SOURce and
:CALibration:ADJ:SENSe commands. For example, a typical value for the 1 mA range
would be:
:CAL:ADJ:SOUR -1.025e-3
:CAL:ADJ:SENS -1.025e-3
Set the current source to 0 A output using the :SOURce:CURRent 0.0 command.
Record the DMM reading in the "Current calibration adjustment data" table in
adjustment
Send the source and sense adjustment commands using the DMM reading for the parameter.
For example:
:CAL:ADJ:SOUR 1e-6
:CAL:ADJ:SENS 1e-6
Set the source to the positive full-range value using the :SOURce:CURRent command. For
example, for the 1 mA range:
:SOUR:CURR 1e-3
Record the DMM reading in the "Current calibration adjustment data" table in
adjustment
Send the source and sense commands using the DMM reading as the parameter. For
example:
:CAL:ADJ:SOUR 1.03e-3
:CAL:ADJ:SENS 1.03e-3
Send the :SOURce:CURRent command to set the source current to 0 A:
:SOURce:CURRent 0.0
Record the DMM reading in the "Current calibration adjustment data" table in
adjustment
Send the :CALibration:ADJ:SOURce command using the DMM reading as the command
parameter. For example:
:CAL:ADJ:SOUR -1.02e-3
