CALibration
The CALibration command subsystem is an HP E1326B/E1411B
Multimeter subsystem used to measure the unstrained reference voltage
for each channel on which strain is measured.
Refer to Chapter 5 in the HP E1326B/E1411B User’s Manual for more
information on the
CALibration subsystem.
Subsystem Syntax CALibration
:STRain <
channel_list>
:STRain CALibration:STRain <channel_list> measures the unstrained reference
voltage on the channels specified.

Comments • The unstrained reference that is measured is the bridge output
voltage (Vout) and the bridge excitation voltage (Vs) under
unstrained conditions. The reference is then computed as Vout/Vs
(unstrained).
• One unstrained reference is required for each channel on which
strain is measured.
• CALibration:STRain is equivalent to executing
CONFigure:STRain:UNSTrained followed by INIT. Thus, it leaves
the multimeter configured for unstrained reference voltage
measurements.
MEASure or CONFigure must be executed to
configure the multimeter for a strain measurement.
Example Measuring the Unstrained Reference
CAL:STR (@100) Measures the unstrained reference
on channel 0.
