9. Send the SCPI query command, *OPC?, to determine when this alignment section has been
completed. Ensure alignment has been completed (query returns a 1) before continuing.
10. Send the SCPI command, INST:NSEL 2, and repeat Step-6 through Step-9 to align Phase-B.
11. Send the SCPI command, INST:NSEL 3, and repeat Step-6 through Step-9 to align Phase-C.
12. The DC-positive calibration coefficients could be queried using the SCPI command,
CAL:MEAS:CURR:DC?; the command will return a comma-separated number sequence, with
the low-range coefficient followed by the high-range coefficient.
9.2.15 Output Current Measurement DC-Negative Low-Range Gain Alignment, DC-Mode
1. Connect the power analyzer for DC current measurement.
2. Connect the load to the output of the power supply.
3. Set load for the low-range resistance for 90% of the rated current appropriate for the model that
is to be aligned.
4. Enter the calibration password with the SCPI command, CAL:PASS “5000”.
5. Send the following SCPI command to select Phase-A:
INST:NSEL 1
6. Set the output current of the power source to the low-range and 90% of the rated current,
appropriate for the model that is to be aligned, using the SCPI command, CURR <90% of the
rated current>.
7. Send the following SCPI commands to the power source (220 VDC range selected; ALC off):
OUTP 0
CURR:PROT OFF
MODE DC
VOLT:RANGE 220
VOLT -100
VOLT:ALC OFF
OUTP 1
8. Perform the alignment with the SCPI command, CAL:MEAS:CURR:DC <numeric value>. The
numeric value for the selected phase is the actual output current derived from the reading of the
external power analyzer.
9. Send the SCPI query command, *OPC?, to determine when this alignment section has been
completed. Ensure alignment has been completed (query returns a 1) before continuing.
10. Send the SCPI command, INST:NSEL 2, and repeat Step-6 through Step-9 to align Phase-B.
11. Send the SCPI command, INST:NSEL 3, and repeat Step-6 through Step-9 to align Phase-C.
12. The DC-negative calibration coefficients could be queried using the SCPI command,
CAL:MEAS:CURR:DC:NEG?, as the comma-separated, low-range coefficient followed by the
high-range coefficient
9.2.16 Output Current Measurement DC-Negative High-Range Gain Alignment, DC-Mode
1. Connect the power analyzer for DC current measurement.
2. Connect the load to the output of the power source.
