CALibration
∙A returned value of 5 (calibration aborted) is given if either:
a.The command is received when the module is in voltage calibration or resistance calibration mode, or
b.The calibration in process has entered more than 50 values without a successful calibration.
∙If the internal calibration resistor is not calibrated, the channel is not marked as calibrated following the completion of calibration (see the CALibration:CONDition? query). The new calibration constants are used, however.
∙When the channel current calibration is completed, the new calibration constants are used by the module, but not stored in
∙If a calibration is interrupted before completion (that is, by another command being received), no constants will be changed.
∙Refer to Appendix D, “ Voltage/Current Output Adjustment” , starting on page 154, for additional information about this command.
∙Related Commands: CALibration:STORe, CALibrationn:CONFigure:CURRent?
CALibrationn:VALue:VOLTage?
CALibrationn:VALue:VOLTage? <value> enters a measured calibration value and returns a value indicating the present state of the voltage 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:VOLTage? query to perform voltage mode calibration. Following the CALn:CONF:VOLT? 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 voltage output channel (a maximum of 50 measurements may be required).
