Calibration

Calibration Procedure

Output 1. Set the power supply and load operate at full output. You must ensure the power

Current supply is operating in current mode during current calibration. Place a shunt on the load line so that you can measure the current. Attach a DVM across the shunt

2.Minimum calibration level

Set the output current to 10% by sending the command:

CAL:OUTP:CURR:LEV MIN

3.Enter current data

Enter the current read from the external DVM via the shunt. CAL:OUTP:CURR:DATA <current>

4.Maximum calibration level

Set the output current to 90% by sending the command:

CAL:OUTP:CURR:LEV MAX

5.Enter current data

Enter the current read from the shunt via the external DVM. CAL:OUTP:CURR:DATA <current>

6.Power supply calculates and stores calibration constants.
