Command parameters for a DC current adjustment
When calibrating your DMM6500 for a DC current adjustment, use the following command
parameters.
Send each command parameter twice. First, send the parameter using the setup command.
Second, send the parameter using the execute command along with the calibrator stimulus value.
The example code below uses the first line of code from the table below. Send all command
parameters using this command.
cal.adjust.step.setup("cal_DCI_10uA_fs_pos")
cal.adjust.step.execute("cal_DCI_10uA_fs_pos", <calibrator stimulus value>)
You must send the cal_TS6 first.
