Calibration
2400-902-01 (G - Feb 2006)
• Use the multimeter reading as the parameter for the :CAL:PROT:SOUR and
:CAL:PROT:SENS commands. For example, a typical value for the 2V range
would be:
:CAL:PROT:SOUR -1.998
:CAL:PROT:SENS -1.998
• Program the voltage source for 0V output using the :SOUR:VOLT 0.0 command.
• Note the multimeter reading.
• Send the source and sense calibration commands using the multimeter reading for
the parameter. For example:
:CAL:PROT:SOUR 1E-3
:CAL:PROT:SENS 1E-3
• Set the source to the positive full-range value using the :SOUR:VOLT command.
For example:
:SOUR:VOLT 2
• Note and record the multimeter reading.
