Whenever CAL:AUTO ONCE is sent, the power module performs an immediate readback temperature compensation.
CAL:AUTO ONCE is a sequential command that takes several seconds to complete. When CAL:AUTO ON is sent, the
power module automatically performs a readback temperature compensation before executing every MEAS command. Use
of this command extends the execution time of every MEAS query.
Command Syntax CALibrate:AUTO <bool> | ONCE
Parameters 0 | OFF | 1 | ON | ONCE
*RST Value OFF
Examples CAL:AUTO 1 CAL:AUTO ONCE
Query Syntax CALibrate:AUTO?
Returned Parameters 0 | 1

CAL:CURR
This command can only be used in the calibration mode. It enters a current value that you obtain by reading an external
meter. 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 module then computes new current
calibration constants. These constants are not stored in nonvolatile memory until saved with the CAL:SAVE command.
Command Syntax CALibrate:CURRent[:DATA] <NRf>
Parameters (See Table 3-2)
Default Suffix A
Examples CAL:CURR 3222.3 MA CAL:CURR:DATA 5.000
Query Syntax (None)
Related Commands CAL:SAVE CAL:STAT
CAL:CURR:LEV
This command can only be used in the calibration mode. It sets the power module 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.
Command Syntax CALibrate:CURRent:LEVel <CRD>
Parameters MINimum |MAXimum
Examples CAL:CURR:LEV MIN CAL:CURR:LEV MAX
Query Syntax (None)
Related Commands CAL:CURR[:DATA] CAL:STAT
CAL:PASS
This command can only be used in the calibration mode. It allows you to change the calibration password. Unless it is
changed subsequently to shipment, the password is the model number of the power module. A new password is
automatically stored in nonvolatile memory and does not have to be stored with the CAL:SAVE command.
If the password is set to 0, password protection is removed and the ability to enter the calibration mode is unrestricted.
Command Syntax CALibrate:PASScode <NRf>
Parameters <NRf>
