Storing and Loading Calibration Parameters
Xantrex recommends that you save all the calibration parameters in a text
file so they can be reloaded in the event of a flash failure or a mistake in
calibration.
To get the calibration data, execute the following commands and save
the response in a text file:
The SCPI command (s) to download all the calibration data are:
[:]CALibration:PARameter[:OUTPut]
[:]CALibration:PARameter:APRogram?
[:]CALibration:PARameter:INPut?
The response to these commands are in the 488.2 Arbitrary Program
Block Data format.
If the calibration ever needs to be restored, you can execute the same
commands and write the arbitrary block data response that was received
in the query as the parameter.
For example, downloading the parameter data can be done from the hyper
terminal as follows.
:cal:par?
#262#h2710,#h0000,#h2710,#h0000,#h2710,#h0000,#h2710,
#h0000,#h1AA4
:cal:par:apr?
#259#h7B,#h7F,#h7F,#h7F,#h7F,#h7F,#h7F,#h7F,#h7F,#h7F,#h
7F,#h7F
:cal:par:inp?
#227#h2710,#h00,#h2710,#h00
To restore the XG with a set of previously saved calibration values
can be done as follows.
:cal:par
#262#h2710,#h0000,#h2710,#h0000,#h2710,#h0000,#h2710,#h0
000,#h1AA4
:cal:par:apr
