Calibration Commands

Calibration commands let you enable and disable the calibration mode, change the calibration password,

calibrate current and voltage programming, and store new calibration constants in nonvolatile memory.

NOTE: If calibration mode has not been enabled with CALibrate:STATe, programming the

calibration commands will generate an error. You must also save any changes that you made

using CALibrate:SAVE, otherwise all changes will be lost when you exit calibration mode.

CALibrate:CURRent

This command initiates the calibration of the positive dc output current as well as the high-range current

measurement circuit.

Command Syntax CALibrate:CURRent[:SOURce][:DC][:POSitive]

Parameters None

Examples CAL:STAT 1, ! enable calibration

CAL:CURR, ! start current calibration

Related Commands CAL: CURR:NEG, CAL:LEV, CAL:DATA

CALibrate:CURRent2

Agilent 66309B/D only

This command initiates the current calibration of output 2.

Command Syntax CALibrate:CURRent2

Parameters None
