Calibration and Troubleshooting
Non-isolated Current Monitoring Calibration
Important: For maximum accuracy at a specific APG level. Follow the calibration procedure again but use the intended operating voltage level in steps 3 and 8.
To calibrate the non-isolated current monitoring:
1.Short the main output with a shunt. Connect a multimeter to measure the voltage across the shunt.
2.Connect the voltmeter to the
3.Set the Current APG level to 4 V. Send the SCPI command:
SYST:COMM:APR:LEV:CURR 4
4.Set the input source as Local.
5.The SCPI command is:
SYST:REM:SOUR:CURR LOC
6. Set the main output voltage to 100% by sending the command SOUR:VOLT <ModelVolt> or use the rotary adjust/Enter control.
7.Turn the main output On by pressing the OUTPUT ENABLE Main button on the front panel or send the command:
| :OUTP ON |
| |
| The OUTPUT ENABLE Main button will illuminate. |
| |
8. | Enter interactive calibration mode by sending SCPI command: |
| |
| CAL:MON:CURR |
| |
9. | Press on the terminal keys – or + to reduce or increase the monitoring |
| |
| value. Adjust the monitoring value displayed on the voltmeter that | 6 | |
| was set up in Step 1 to read as close as possible to 4.000 V. | ||
10. | Press any key other than the + or – keys to exit from interactive | ||
|
calibration mode.
