Calibrating and Verifying Performance 199 Chapter 4
Comments
•
Make the calibration values measurements and provide them to the enhanced
monitor via the CAL:VAL:VOLT and CAL:VAL:TEMP immediately prior to
using this command. Old values will be used otherwise. If you want the
calibration routine to calculate a temperature calibration value you MUST
send a CAL:VAL:TEMP -1 before every calibration command.
•
The calibration values (reported to the enhanced monitor with
CAL:VAL:VOLT and CAL:VAL:TEMP) have default values that will be used
by the calibration routines if no values are ever measured and reported to the
enhanced monitor. See CAL:VAL:VOLT and CAL:VAL:TEMP for details.
Error Conditions
The following table lists the most common error conditions and causes. Error
numbers and corresponding messages can be found using SYSTem:ERRor? query.
Reset Condition
Calibration is not affected by reset. However, if a *RST is issued while a calibration
is occurring the calibration will be aborted.
