Performing the Calibration Procedure

Table B-1 lists the equipment required for calibration. Figure B-1 shows the test setup.

NOTE: You do not have to do a complete calibration each time. You may calibrate only the voltage or current and proceed to "Saving the Calibration Constants." However, before you calibrate OVP, you must first calibrate the output voltage.

The following parameters may be calibrated:

ac output voltage

realtime voltage (Agilent 6843A only)

overvoltage protection (OVP)

output voltage readback

ac output current

output current measurement (Agilent 6843A only)

output impedance (Agilent 6843A only)

Before calibrating the output impedance on Agilent 6843A units, you must first calibrate the output voltage and the output current.

NOTE: The Agilent 6834A ac source must be calibrated in 3-phase output mode or an error will occur. To put the Agilent 6834B unit in 3-phase output mode, press Address, scroll to NOUTPUT 3 command, and press Enter.
