Calibration Commands

CALibration:DAC:ERRor

This command corrects the differential nonlinearity error of the internal DAC

without an external meter. You must send this command before calibrating the

voltage. It takes about 30 seconds to execute the command.

CALibration:SECure:CODE <new code>

This command enters a new security code. To change the security code, first

unsecure the power supply using the old security code. Then, enter the new

code. The calibration code may contain up to 12 characters over the remote

interface but the first character must always be a letter.

CALibration:SECure:STATe {OFF | ON},<code>

This command unsecures or secures the power supply for calibration. The

calibration code may contain up to 12 characters over the remote interface.

CALibration:SECure:STATe?

This command queries the secured state for calibration of the power supply.

The returned parameter is ‘‘0’’ (OFF) or ‘‘1’’ (ON).

CALibration:STRing <quoted string>

This command records calibration information about your power supply. For

example, you can store such information as the last calibration date, the next

calibration due date, or the power supply’s serial number. The calibration

message may contain up to 40 characters. The power supply should be

unsecured before sending a calibration message.

CALibration:STRing?

This command queries the calibration message and returns a quoted string.

CALibration:VOLTage[:DATA] <numeric value>

This command can only be used after calibration is unsecured and the output

state is ON. It enters a voltage value that you obtained by reading an external

meter. You must first select the minimum calibration level (CAL:VOLT:LEV

MIN) for the value being entered. You must then select the middle and

maximum calibration levels (CAL:VOLT:LEV MID and CAL:VOLT:LEV MAX)

for the value being entered. Three successive values must be selected and

entered. The power supply then computes new voltage calibration constants.

These constants are then stored in non-volatile memory.
