CALIBRATION SCPI Command Subsystem

Note: See section

for calibration procedures.

CAUTION

Please refer to the power supply manual for further information before performing
calibration procedures. Calibration must be performed by qualified personnel who
appropriately deal with attendant hazards. If calibration is not performed properly,
functional problems could arise, requiring that the supply be returned to the
factory.
