CAL:SAVE
This command can only be used in the calibration mode. It saves any new calibration constants (after a current or voltage
calibration procedure has been completed) in nonvolatile memory.
Command Syntax: CALibrate:SAVE
Parameters (None)
Examples CAL:SAVE
Query Syntax (None)
Related Commands CAL:CURR CAL:VOLT CAL:STAT
CAL:STAT
This command enables and disables the calibration mode. The calibration mode must be enabled before the power module
will accept any other calibration commands except CAL:AUTO.
The first parameter specifies the enabled or disabled state. The second parameter is the password. It is required if the
calibration mode is being enabled and the existing password is not 0. If the second parameter is not entered or is incorrect,
an error is generated and the calibration mode remains disabled. The query statement returns only the state, not the
password.
Whenever the calibration mode is changed from enabled to disabled, any new calibration constants are lost unless they have
been stored with CAL:SAVE.
Command Syntax: CALibrate:STATe <bool> [,<NRf>]
Parameters 0 | OFF | 1 | ON[,<NRf>]
*RST Value OFF
Examples CAL:STAT 1,66102 CAL:STAT OFF
Query Syntax CALibrate:STATe?
Returned Parameters 0 | 1
Related Commands CAL:PASS CAL:SAVE
CAL:VOLT
This command can only be used in the calibration mode. It enters a voltage value that is obtained from an external meter.
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 module then computes new voltage calibration
constants. These constants are not stored in nonvolatile memory until saved with the CAL:SAVE command.
Command Syntax CALibrate:VOLTage[:DATA] <NRf>
Parameters See Table 3-2
Default Suffix V
Examples CAL:VOLT 310.0 MV CAL:VOLT 5.000
Query Syntax (None)
Related Commands CAL:SAVE CAL:STAT
CAL:VOLT: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: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:LEVel <CRD>
