Calibration Adjustment Procedures
This chapter includes calibration adjustment procedures for Keysight E36100 series power supply.
Instructions are applicable for performing the procedures from either the front panel or a controller over
the LAN or USB.
Perform the verification tests before calibrating your instrument. If the instrument passes the veri-
fication tests, the unit is operating within its calibration limits and does not need to be re-cal-
ibrated.
Closed–case electronic calibration
The instrument uses closed-case electronic calibration; no internal mechanical adjustments are
required. The instrument calculates correction factors based on reference signals that you apply and
stores the correction factors in non-volatile memory. This data is not changed by cycling power, *RST,
or SYSTem:PRESet.
Calibration interval
The recommended calibration interval for Keysight E36100 series power supply is one year.
Calibration adjustment process
The following general procedure is recommended to complete a full calibration adjustment.
1.
Adhere to the test considerations. See Performance Verification > Test considerations for details.
2.
Perform the performance verification tests to characterize the instrument. See Performance Veri-
fication for details.
3. Unsecure the instrument for calibration. See Calibration security for details.
4.
Perform the calibration procedures. See Calibration procedure for details.
5.
Secure the instrument against the calibration. See Calibration security for details.
6.
Take note of the security code and calibration count in the instrument's maintenance records.
7.
Perform the performance verification tests to verify the calibration.
Calibration security
The instrument has a calibration security code to prevent accidental or unauthorized calibration. When
you receive your power supply, it is secured by a default security code, as shown below. The security
code is not changed by a power cycle or *RST.
