Cal mode (DPI 615 versions only)
Cal mode, which is available in tasks P-I, P-P, P-V, P-P, P-DISPLAY and P-SWITCH, provides
a method of setting-up test parameters manually. Downloaded test procedures can also
automatically set-up and turn on the Cal Mode function. The method of turning on and
setting-up Cal Mode is shown below for a P-I task. The method is similar for all the other
tasks available in Cal Mode.
Pressing the F1 key (TURN ON CAL MODE), provides the set-up screen for the CAL mode.
Initially, the cursor is placed in the UUT SPAN field to allow the required span range to be
entered. The corresponding values for the UUT output parameter (current) are then set,
followed by the maximum error value and error type (% rdg or % span). When all test
parameters have been set-up, the screen changes to display the input and output and
the test results. The test result can only be displayed to within a range of ±9.99%. If the
test result is outside this range, either the left pointing (-ve error) or right pointing (+ve
error) chevrons are displayed. Within this error band, the actual tolerance value is
displayed. Test results can either be stored as snapshots or logged as datalog files,
depending upon how the instrument has been set-up.
Basic Mode (Task BASIC)
This instrument powers up in this mode the first time that it is used. To select BASIC from
any other task, press the TASK key and select BASIC and press the ENTER key. BASIC
mode is fully described in the Getting Started, section (see page 7).
