CALibrate Subsystem
This subsystem calibrates the instrument.
Follow the procedure in the calibration section before calibrating. Improper
calibration can reduce accuracy and reliability.
CALibrate:COUNt?
Returns the calibration count.
Parameter
Typical Return
(none)
+14
Return the calibration count: CAL:COUN?
The calibration count is incremented whenever any of the following commands is executed:
– CALibrate:SAVE ([Menu] > System > Admin > Cal > Save)
– CALibrate:DATE ([Menu] > System > Admin > Cal > Date)
– CALibrate:PASSword ([Menu] > System > Admin > Password)
– CALibrate:PASSword:RESet
You may execute this query regardless of the CALibrate:STATe value.
CALibrate:CURRent:OFFSet <value>
Starts the DC current limit calibration for the specified voltage range.
Parameter
The maximum current of the output range being calibrated, as shown in the table below. (none)
Calibrate the 10-A current range: CAL:CURR:OFFS 10
The
CALibrate:STATe
must be ON to execute this command.
The <value> that you specify will select the range to be calibrated, as shown in the table below. For
example, a <value> of 8 will select the 310 V range on the AC6803B, but the 155 V range on the
AC6802B.
AC6801B AC6802B AC6803B AC6804B
