Calibration 2-23
NOTE Calibration will be temporary unless you send the SAVE command. Also, cali-
bration data will not be saved if (1) calibration is locked, (2) invalid data exists,
or (3) all steps were not completed.
Step 6: Lock out calibration
To lock out further calibration, send the following command after completing the calibration
procedure:
:CAL:PROT:LOCK
Single-range calibration
Normally, the complete calibration procedure should be performed to ensure that the entire
instrument is properly calibrated. In some instances, however, you may want to calibrate only
certain ranges. To do so, complete the entire procedure only for the range(s) to be calibrated.
Keep in mind, however, that you must complete all parameter steps for each source or sense
range. Also be sure to set calibration dates and save calibration after calibrating the desired
range(s).
