CALibration

CALibrationn:VALue:CURRent?

CALibrationn:VALue:CURRent? <value> enters a measured calibration value and returns a value indicating the present state of the current calibration process.

Comments In the keyword, CALibrationn, the valid range of n is:

1 to 8 for

E1418A, E1418A Option 002

1 to 16 for

E1418A Option 001, E1418A Option 003.

Values of n outside these ranges will generate an error.

This command is used together with the CALibrationn:CONFigure:CURRent? query to perform voltage mode calibration. Following the CALn:CONF:CURR? query, this command is used repetitively until the return value indicates that the calibration is complete.

The <value> parameter is the measured output voltage. A minimum of

9 measurements must be taken to calibrate a channel for current mode output (a maximum of 50 measurements may be required).

This query returns one of the following values:

Return
