Step 5: Send dates, save calibration, and lock output calibration
Send these command to send dates, save calibration constants and dates, and
then finally lock out calibration:
SOUR:CURR:RANG 2e-4 ‘ Set current range to 200μA.
SOUR:CURR 2e-5 ‘ Set current source to 20μA.
OUTP ON ‘ Turn on output.
CAL:PROT:GUAR:STEP1:INIT ‘ Set up for step 1 guard cal.
CAL:PROT:GUAR:STEP1 <DMM_Reading> ‘ Cal step 1 with reading.
CAL:PROT:GUAR:STEP2:INIT ‘ Set up for step 2 guard cal.
CAL:PROT:GUAR:STEP2 <DMM_Reading> ‘ Cal step 2 with reading.
OUTP OFF ‘ Turn off output.
CAL:PROT:DATE 2004,05,15 ‘ Send cal date (5/15/2004).
CAL:PROT:NDUE 2005,05,15 ‘ Send cal due date (5/15/2005).
