Front Panel Calibration Procedure
These procedures assume you understand how to operate front panel keys (see chapter 5). Make sure the
sense switch is set to Remote and the sense terminals are directly jumpered to the output terminals.
Calibration procedures can only be performed with the dc source set to the SCPI programming language.

lf the password is incorrect, an error occurs. If the active password is lost, the
calibration function can be recovered by setting an internal switch that defeats
password protection. (See the Service Manual.)
