In the keyword,
CALibration
n, the valid range of n is:
1 to 8 for
E1418A, E1418A Option 002
1 to 16 for
E1418A Option 001, E1418A Option 003.
Values of n outside these ranges will generate an error.
•
This command is used together with the
CALibration
n
:CONFigure:CURRent?
query to perform voltage mode calibration. Following the
CAL
n
:CONF:CURR?
query, this command is used repetitively until the return value indicates that the
calibration is complete.
•
The
<
value
>
parameter is the measured output voltage. A minimum of
9 measurements must be taken to calibrate a channel for current mode output
(a maximum of 50 measurements may be required).
•
This query returns one of the following values:
Return
Value
Meaning

1
More measurements are needed.
Resistance is calibrated.
2
Calibration is complete.
New constants are in RAM.
Resistance is not calibrated.
3
