Current Programming and Measurement Calibration
Step 1. Connect a precision shunt resistor to an output. Connect the Agilent
3458A across the shunt. The shunt should be able to measure at least
120% of the power supply’s rated full-scale current.
Step 2. Enable current calibration mode.
*RST
OUTP ON
CAL:STAT ON
Step 3. Set the output voltage high enough to compensate for any voltage
drops on the load leads and current shunt.
VSET 0.5
Step 4. Select current calibration.
