CALibrate:SAVE

This command saves any new calibration constants after a calibration procedure has been completed in nonvolatile memory. If CALibrate:STATe OFF is programmed without a CALibrate:SAVE, the previous calibration constants are restored..

Command Syntax	CALibrate:SAVE
Parameters	None
Examples	CAL:SAVE
Related Commands	CAL:PASS CAL:STAT

CALibrate:STATe

This command enables and disables calibration mode. The calibration mode must be enabled before the dc source will accept any other calibration commands.

The first parameter specifies the enabled or disabled state. The second parameter is the password. A password is required if calibration mode is being enabled and the existing password is not 0. If the password is not entered or is incorrect, an error is generated and the calibration mode remains disabled. The query returns only the state, not the password.

NOTE: Whenever the calibration state is changed from enabled to disabled, any new calibration constants are lost unless they have been stored with CALibrate:SAVE.

Command Syntax	CALibrate:STATe <bool>[,<NRf>]
Parameters	0 OFF 1 ON [,<password>]
*RST Value	OFF
Examples	CAL:STAT 1,3280 CAL:STAT OFF
Query Syntax	CALibrate:STATe?
Returned Parameters	<NR1>
Related Commands	CAL:PASS CAL:SAVE *RST

CALibrate:VOLTage

This command initiates the calibration of the output voltage and the voltage measurement circuit.

Command Syntax	CALibrate:VOLTage (@<channel>)
Parameters	None
Examples	CAL:VOLT (@1)
