Calibration, Equipment Required | Agilent Technologies 665xA, 664xA

Calibration

Introduction

The power supply may be calibrated either from the front panel or from a controller over the GPIB. The procedures given here apply to all models.

Important These instructions do not include verification procedures. If you need to perform verification as a erequisite to or as part of your calibration procedure, see “Appendix B - Verification”.

Equipment Required

The equipment listed in Table A-1, or equivalent, is required for calibration.

General Procedure

Because the power supply output must be enabled during calibration, voltages or currents hazardous to personnel and/or damaging to equipment can appear at the output terminals.

ENERGY HAZARD. Series 668xA/669xA supplies can provide more than 240 VA at more than 2 V. If the output connections touch, severe arcing may occur resulting in burns, ignition or welding of parts. Do not attempt to make connections to live output circuits.

Parameters Calibrated

The following parameters may be calibrated:

•Output voltage.

•Output voltage readback.
