82 Keysight E36200 Series Service Guide
Calibration Adjustment Procedures
This chapter includes calibration adjustment procedures for the E36200 Series
autoranging DC power supplies. Instructions are applicable for performing the
procedures from either the front panel or a controller over the LAN, USB, or GPIB.
Perform the verification tests (see “Performance Verification” on page 54) before
calibrating your instrument. If the instrument passes the verification tests, the unit
is operating within its calibration limits and does not need to be re-calibrated.
Closed-case electronic calibration
The instrument uses closed-case electronic calibration; no internal mechanical
adjustments are required. The instrument calculates the correction factors based
on reference signals that you apply and stores the correction factors in the
instrument’s non-volatile memory. This data is not changed by cycling power,
*RST, or SYSTem:PRESet.
Calibration interval
The recommended calibration interval for the E36200 Series autoranging DC
power supplies is one year.
Calibration adjustment process
The following general procedure is recommended to complete a full calibration
adjustment.
1 Adhere to the test considerations. See “Test considerations” on page 55 for
details.
2 Perform the performance verification tests to characterize the instrument. See
“Performance Verification” on page 54 for details.
3 Unsecure the instrument for calibration. See “Calibration security” on page 83
for details.
4 Perform the calibration procedures. See “Calibration procedure” on page 86
for details.
5 Secure the instrument against the calibration. See “Calibration security” on
page 83 for details.
