Calibration Language Dictionary

The calibration commands are listed in alphabetical order. The format for each command follows that shown in Chapter 7.
Calibration error messages that can occur during GPIB calibration are shown in Table B-3.

CAL:CURR

This command is used to calibrate the output current. The command enters current value that you obtain from an external
meter. (If you are entering the current value, allow time for the DVM to stabilize.) You must first select a calibration level
(CAL:CURR:LEV) for the value being entered. Two successive values (one for each end of the calibration range) must be
selected and entered. The power supply then computes new current calibration constants. These constants are not stored in
nonvolatile memory until saved with the CAL:SAVE command.

CAL:CURR:LEV

This command sets the power supply to a calibration point that is then entered with CAL:CURR[:DATA]. During
calibration, two points must be entered and the low-end point (MIN) must be selected and entered first.

CAL:PASS

This command enters a new calibration password. The command is active only when the power supply is already in the
calibration mode. Unless it is changed subsequently to shipment, the password is the power supply's four -digit model
number. If the password is set to 0, password protection is removed and CAL:STAT ON is unrestricted. A new password is
automatically stored in nonvolatile memory and does not have to be stored with the CAL:SAVE command.

CAL:SAVE

This command saves any new calibration constants (after a current or voltage calibration procedure has been completed) in
nonvolatile memory.
