Calibrate Commands
Calibrate commands calibrate the instrument.
Read the calibration section before calibrating. Improper calibration can reduce accuracy and reli-
ability.
CALibrate:COUNt?
Returns the number of times the unit has been calibrated. The count is incremented whenever the calibration (includ-
ing the date) is saved, the administration password is changed, the administration password is reset using the internal
cal switch, or the instrument firmware is updated.
Parameter Typical Return
(none) The calibration count
Return the calibration count: CAL:COUN?
CALibrate:CURRent[:LEVel] [<value>]
Calibrates the current programming and measurement. The optional value parameter selects the range to calibrate.
This is for compatibility with the N6700 series modular power system.
Parameter Typical Return
Optional - the maximum value of the
range.
(none)
Calibrates the current of the 100 A range: CAL:CURR 100
CALibrate:DATA <value>
Enters the calibration value read by the external meter. You must first select a calibration level for the value being
entered. Data values are expressed in base units - either volts or amperes, depending on which function is being cal-
ibrated.
Parameter Typical Return
Numeric value (none)
Specify calibration value 0.0237: CAL:DATA 2.37E-2
CALibrate:DATE <"date">
