Automating Calibration Procedures
You can automate the complete verification procedures
outlined in this chapter if you have access to programmable
test equipment. You can program the instrument
configurations specified for each test over the remote
interface. You can then enter readback verification data into
a test program and compare the results to the appropriate
test limit values.
You can also enter calibration constants from the remote
interface. Remote operation is similar to the local
front- panel procedure. You can use a computer to perform
the adjustment by first selecting the required setup. The
calibration value is sent to the power supply and then the
calibration is initiated over the remote interface. The power
supply must be unsecured prior to initiating the calibration
procedure. An Agilent BASIC program for calibration over
the GPIB interface is listed at the end of this chapter.
For further details on programming the power supply, see
chapters 3 and 4 in the Agilent E3632A User's Guide.
