Calibrate 1 V DC Range only
Table 11 shows an example to run a calibration for 1 V dc.
Table 11. 1 V DC Calibration Example
Command Action
CAL:SEC:STAT OFF,”1586” Disable the security for calibration.
CAL:STAR MAIN,DC1V
Start MAIN calibration procedure, and jump to 1 V dc range
directly, it will show ask for 1 V signal input, and the reference
value.
CAL:NEXT 1
Continue to perform measurements for this point, after it is
completed, show instruction to ask for 0 V signal input and the
reference value.
CAL:NEXT 0
Continue to perform measurements for this point, after it is
completed, show instruction to ask for -1 V signal input and the
reference value.
CAL:NEXT -1
Continue to perform measurements for this point, after it is
completed, calculate the calibration constants for DC 1V range,
then show instruction to ask for 10 V signal input and the
reference value (the first calibration point of next 10 V dc range.
CAL:STOR Store the calibration constants.
CAL:ABOR Abort the calibration procedure.
Write Calibration Date to a Module
Table 12 shows an example to write the calibration date into a module after the
CJC accuracy is validated.
Table 12. Write Calibration Date to a Module Example
Command Action
CAL:SEC:STAT OFF,”1586” Disable the security for calibration.
CAL:MOD:DATE 1,2014,11,1 Write “2014/11/1” as new calibration date into module in slot 1.
