Current Calibration
Current Programming and Measurement
Step 1. Disconnect all equipment form the output terminals.
Step 2. Select the current programing and measurement calibration.
Front Panel Menu Reference
SCPI Command
Select
System\Admin\Cal\Curr\Iprog
.
Check that nothing is connected to the output and select
Next.
Specify the full-scale current range. Full scale
ranges vary by model. This selects the 20 A range:
Step 3. Select the first current calibration point. Wait 5 minutes for the temperature to settle.

SCPI Command
Wait 5 minutes, then select Next again.
Step 4. Connect a precision shunt resistor to the output. The shunt resistor should be able to measure
at least 70% of the output’s full-scale current (see
). Connect the Keysight 3458A DMM
across the shunt resistor.

SCPI Command
Check that the shunt is connected and select Next.
Not applicable
Step 5. Select the second current calibration point. Wait 5 minutes for the temperature to settle.
Calculate the shunt current (I=V/R) and enter the data.
Front Panel Menu Reference
SCPI Command
Display shows: “Enter P2 measured data”. Enter the data
from the external DMM. This should be about 70% of the
full-scale current rating. Press Enter when done. Press
Back to finish.

Current Sharing Calibration
This procedure calibrates the Imon signal that is used when units are connected in parallel.
Step 1. Connect a short across the + and - output terminals. Connect the Keysight 3458A DMM across
pins 2 and 3 of the Sharing connector (see
).
Step 2. Select the current sharing calibration.
Front Panel Menu Reference
SCPI Command
Select

.
Check that the short is connected and select Next.
