Calibration and Troubleshooting
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,
