6.4.5 Calibration Over the IEEE-488
You can calibrate the AC source by using SCPI commands within your controller
programming statements. Be sure you are familiar with calibration from the front
panel before you calibrate from a controller. Each front panel calibration command
has a corresponding SCPI command.
The SCPI calibration commands are explained in chapter 4 of the AC source
Programming Manual. Calibration error messages that can occur during IEEE-488
calibration are shown in Table 44.
