Calibration Commands
104 E3632A User’s Guide
CALibration:SECure:STATe?
Query the secured state for calibration of the power supply.
The returned parameter is 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON).
CALibration:STRing <quoted string>
This command records calibration information about your
power supply. For example, you can store such information
as the last calibration date, the next calibration due date, or
the power supply’s serial number. The calibration message
may contain up to 40 characters. The power supply should
be unsecured before sending a calibration message.
CALibration:STRing?
This command queries the calibration message and returns a
quoted string.
CALibration:VOLTage[:DATA] <numeric value>
This command can only be used after calibration is
unsecured and the output state is ON. It enters a voltage
value that you obtained by reading an external meter. You
must first select the minimum calibration level
(CAL:VOLT:LEV MIN) for the value being entered. You must
then select the middle and maximum calibration levels
(CAL:VOLT:LEV MID and CAL:VOLT:LEV MAX) for the value
being entered. Three successive values must be selected and
entered. The power supply then computes new voltage
calibration constants. These constants are then stored in
non- volatile memory.
CALibration:VOLTage:LEVel
{MINimum|MIDdle|MAXimum}
This command can only be used after calibration is
unsecured and the output state is ON. It sets the power
supply to a calibration point that is entered with the
CAL:VOLT command. During calibration, three points must
be entered and the low- end point (MIN) must be selected
and entered first.
