Comments Executable when initiated: No

Coupled Command: No

Before executing CALibration[<chan>]:GAIN you must do the following steps. Note that if you use the CONFigure command, it must be sent first; otherwise several of the settings such as CALibration:SECure:STATe and CALibration:VALue will be reset to their *RST values.

a.Disable the calibration security by setting CALibration[<chan>]:SECure:STATe OFF.

b.Use the CONFigure command, or the SENSe:VOLTage:RANGe and SENSe:FUNCtion commands to place the HP E1429 in the desired range and using the desired port: i.e CONF<channel>:ARR:VOLT (1000),<range>,(@<port>).

c.Program the input filter and impedance (if applicable) to the desired settings (use the INPut:FILTer and INPut:IMPedance commands).

d.Specify the voltage which will be applied using the CALibration:VALue command. This voltage must be 85% to 99.5% of the full scale input for the range being calibrated. The CONFigure command will reset the value of this setting, so this step must be done after any CONFigure command is used.

e.Connect a fixed standard DC voltage to the input to be calibrated, where the standard is between 85.0% and 99.5% of the full scale reading for the range being calibrated.

MINimum and MAXimum are not allowed with this command.

Optional parameters that are left blank are filled from left to right. Therefore, it may be necessary to use the syntax DEFault to note that a particular parameter has been defaulted. For example, to default the number of readings and specify a
