Calibration Over the GPIB

You can calibrate the ac source by using SCPI commands within your controller programming statements. Be sure you are familiar with calibration from the front panel before you calibrate from a controller. Each front panel calibration command has a corresponding SCPI command.

The SCPI calibration commands are explained in Chapter 3 of the ac source Programming Guide. Calibration error messages that can occur during GPIB calibration are shown in table B-3.

Agilent Calibration Program Listing

Figure B-2 lists the calibration program. This program can be run on any controller operating under Agilent BASIC. The assumed power supply address is 705 and calibration password is 0. If required, change these parameters in the appropriate statements.
