4.3.1 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE USING SCPI COMMANDS
The following procedure provides a complete calibration of the unit. Steps 19 and 20 calibrate
the control signal used when the unit is a slave in series configurations. Steps 31 and 32 cali-
brate the control signal used when the unit is a master in parallel configurations. Steps 33 and
34 calibrate the control signal used when the unit is a slave in parallel configurations. There is
no need for a special calibration step when the unit is used as a master in series configurations
since the BOP output voltage (which is calibrated by this procedure) is used to control the next
unit in series.
NOTES: 1. The unit will not calibrate unless the unit was turned on with power-up
switch S2 segments set to 00001. If necessary, turn the unit off, set S2 to
00001 (standalone) and turn the unit on.
2. For ZERO calibration, adjust output to obtain value closest to zero.
3. For FULL SCALE calibration adjust the output to obtain the closest value above
the nominal full scale value.
4. Set the unit for local sensing with GND Network in (see Figure 4-1) and discon-
nect load from BOP output to prepare the unit for voltage calibration.
FIGURE 4-1. CALIBRATION SETUP IN VOLTAGE MODE
1. Initiate calibration by sending the SCPI command SYSTem:PASSword:CENable DEFAULT
and then send CAL:STATe 1. The password DEFAULT has been set at the factory. If the
password has been changed from DEFAULT, substitute the correct password for the unit in
the SYST:PASS:CEN command. If the password has been lost, consult factory.
2. Set the BOP to zero volts output by sending CAL:VOLT ZERO. Connect a Digital Voltmeter
(DVM) to the BOP OUT S and COM S terminals to measure the output voltage. Send
CAL:DATA commands as needed (see PAR. 4.3a) to adjust the BOP output until the DVM
reads as close to zero as possible within tolerance specified in Table 4-3 for VOLTAGE
ZERO.
