Remote calibration
Use the followin
g procedure to perform remote calibration by sending SCPI commands over
the IEEE-488 bus or RS-232 port. The remote commands and appropriate parameters are
separately summarized for each step.
Remote calibration commands
Table 2-5 summarizes remote calibration commands. For a more complete description of
these commands, refer to Appendix B.
*Calibration data will not be saved if:
1. Calibration was not unlocked with :CODE command.
2. Invalid data exists. (For example, cal step failed or was aborted.)
3. Incomplete number of cal steps were performed. (For example, omitting a negative full-scale step.)
Ranges that successfully calibrated will be saved if calibration is unlocked. Ranges that failed will not be
sa
ved.
