CAL:VOLT

This command is used to calibrate the output voltage. The command enters voltage value that you obtain from an external meter. (If you are entering the voltage value, allow time for the DVM to stabilize.) You must first select a calibration level (CAL:VOLT: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 voltage calibration constants. These constants are not stored in nonvolatile memory until saved with the CAL:SAVE command.

Related Commands

CAL:SAVE CAL:STAT

CAL:VOLT:LEV

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

Command Syntax

CALibrate:VOLTage:DATA {MINMAX}

Parameters

{ < CRD > MINimum MAXimum}

CAL:VOLT:PROT

This command calibrates the power supply overvoltage protection (OV) circuit. The output voltage must be in calibration before this procedure is performed. Also, the power supply output must be enabled and operating in the constant voltage (CV) mode. If present, the optional relay accessory must either be disconnected or set to the off (open) state. The power supply automatically performs the calibration and stores the new OV constant in nonvolatile memory. CAL:VOLT:PROT is a sequential command that takes several seconds to complete.

Agilent BASIC Calibration Program

The following program can be run on any controller operating under Agilent BASIC. The assumed power supply address is 5 and calibration password is 6680. If required, change these parameters in the appropriate statements.

Note If you are calibrating models 664x, 665x, or 667x, delete or comment out lines 640 through 670 in the following calibration program. These program lines are only required when calibrating models 668x/669x.
