B - Performance and Calibration Procedures

Negative Current Limit Calibration

Action

Program Commands

1.Jumper the High sense terminal to the High output terminal. Jumper the Low sense terminal to the Low output terminal.

Connect the current input of the 3458A multimeter directly to output 1.

2.

Select negative current limit calibration for output 1.

“CAL:CURR:LIM:NEG (@1)”

3.

Select the first calibration point. *OPC? prevents processing of all

“CAL:LEV P1;*OPC?”

 

subsequent commands to ensure that the output is stable.

 

4.

Set the 3458A multimeter to the 1A range, measure the output current,

“CAL:DATA <value>”

 

and enter the data into the dc source.

 

5.

Select the second calibration point. *OPC? prevents processing of all

“CAL:LEV P2;*OPC?”

 

subsequent commands to ensure that the output is stable.

 

6.

Measure the output current and enter the data into the dc source.

“CAL:DATA <value>”

Positive Current Limit Calibration

Action

Program Commands

1.Jumper the High sense terminal to the High output terminal. Jumper the Low sense terminal to the Low output terminal.

Connect the current input of the 3458A multimeter directly to output 1.

2.

Select positive current limit calibration for output 1.

“CAL:CURR:LIM:POS (@1)”

3.

Select the first calibration point. *OPC? prevents processing of all

“CAL:LEV P1;*OPC?”

 

subsequent commands to ensure that the output is stable.

 

4.

Set the 3458A multimeter to the 1A range, measure the output current,

“CAL:DATA <value>”

 

and enter the data into the dc source.

 

5.

Select the second calibration point. *OPC? prevents processing of all

“CAL:LEV P2;*OPC?”

 

subsequent commands to ensure that the output is stable.

 

6.

Measure the output current and enter the data into the dc source.

“CAL:DATA <value>”

0.5A Range Current Measurement Calibration

Action

Program Commands

1.Jumper the High sense terminal to the High output terminal. Jumper the Low sense terminal to the Low output terminal. Connect the current input of the 3458A multimeter directly to output 1.

2.Select the 0.5A range current measurement calibration for output 1. “CAL:CURR:MEAS 0.5,(@1)”

3.

Select the calibration point. *OPC? prevents processing of all

“CAL:LEV P1;*OPC?”

 

subsequent commands to ensure that the output is stable.

 

4.

Set the 3458A multimeter to the 1A range, measure the output

“CAL:DATA <value>”

 

current, and enter the data into the dc source.
