CALIBRATION BASICS
CAUTION
: Before performing calibration, set BOP OUTPUT to OFF and connect short
across BOP output, then set OUTPUT to ON and Voltage to 10V.
It is necessary
to wait 10 minutes before calibrating the unit to allow for thermal stabiliza-
tion.
After 10 minutes, set OUTPUT to OFF and remove short from BOP output,
then proceed with calibration.
All adjustments are done using the six arrow buttons of the Calibration Panel (see Figure 3-4
and Table 3-4). The double arrow buttons
and
either increase (
) or decrease (
) the
output five steps at a time; the
Í
and
Î
buttons either increase (
Î
) or decrease (
Í
) the out-
put one step at a time. The triple arrow buttons
<<<—
and
—>>>
either increase (
—>>>
) or
decrease (
<<<—
) the output 80 steps at a time The
,
,
Í
, and
Î
buttons only work within
the 80-step window established by
<<<—
and
—>>>
.
For MAX and MIN Calibrations fine adjustment is done using the
,
,
Í
, and
Î
buttons. If
the value can not be set within the specified tolerance using the fine adjustment, use the coarse
adjustment to increase (—>>>) or decrease (<<<—) the output as needed, then use the fine
adjust buttons to set the value within tolerance. Where large adjustment is necessary, <<<—
and —>>> can be used first to bring the output close before using the
,
,
Í
, and
Î
but-
tons.
