No.
Item
1
V DAC (calibrate the accuracy of the output voltage, the
default calibration item)
2
I DAC (calibrate the accuracy of the output current)
3 V ADC (calibrate the accuracy of the readback voltage)
4
I ADC (calibrate the accuracy of the readback current)
Note: the calibration methods of the 3 channels are the same and CH1 is taken
as the example in this manual. Please reboot the instrument after finishing all
channels’ calibration.
2. Cal Point
Press this softkey, the specified calibration point in the ID column is highlighted
