Calibration and Troubleshooting

Isolated Voltage Programming of Voltage Calibration

Important: For maximum accuracy at a specific APG level. Follow the calibration procedure again but use the intended operating voltage level in step 3.

To calibrate the isolated voltage programming of voltage:

1.Disconnect the load and connect the voltmeter to the output.

2.Connect the input voltage source to the Isolated connector (J3.3 and J3.6).

3.Set the Voltage APG level to 4 V. The SCPI command is:

SYST:COMM:APR:LEV 4

4.Set the input source voltage to 4.000 V.

5.Set the input source as Voltage Isolated for Voltage. The SCPI command is:

SYST:REM:SOUR AVOL

6.Turn the main output to 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.

7. Enter the interactive calibration mode by sending the SCPI command:

CAL:OUTP:ANAL:ISOL

8.Press on the terminal keys – or + to reduce or increase the main output voltage value. Adjust the main output voltage to 100%.

9.Press any key other than the + or – keys to exit from interactive calibration mode.
