E1564A Gain Adjustment

NOTE The zero adjustment procedure MUST have been recently performed prior to beginning any gain adjustment procedure. Zero adjustment should be performed one time followed by the other gain adjustments. Each range in the gain adjustment procedure for each channel takes less than 5 seconds to complete

The E1564A 4-Channel Digitizer has an internal DAC that outputs to a calibration bus on the front panel Calibration Bus Output (D-connector). This procedure uses the calibration bus and does not require an external DC Standard.

You must set the "FLASH" and "CALIBRATION CONSTANTS" switch to "write enable" before you can store new calibration constants. It is recommended you do this prior to starting the calibration procedures. Execute CAL:STORe to store the new calibration constants following the calibration procedures. Restore the switches to the "Read Only" position after you store the new calibration constants.

1 Reset the E1564A Digitizer by executing *RST.

2Connect a voltmeter to the Calibration Bus Output on the front panel D-connector (see Figure E-1). Set the voltmeter to the DCV function.
