Calibration Command Reference
3-6
3.3.8 :DC (:CALibration:PROtected:DC)
The :DC commands perform comprehensive (user) calibration. Table 3-2 summarizes these
comprehensive calibration commands along with parameter limits.
:ZERO (:CALibration:PROTected:DC:ZERO)
Purpose To perform short-circuit comprehensive calibration.
Format :cal:prot:dc:zero
Parameter none
Description :ZERO performs the short-circuit calibration step in the comprehensive calibration procedure.
A low-thermal short (Model 8610) must be connected to the input jacks before sending this
command.
Example :CAL:PROT:DC:ZERO Perform zero calibration.
