:CALibration:PROTected[:DC[n]]:STEP<step>
[n]
Channel number: For single-channel instruments, the value is 1.
<step>
The following steps represent the entire calibration process:
Step1: V-ADC and V-DAC zero-point calibration.
Step2: V-ADC and V-DAC full-scale calibration.
Step3: I-100 mA and I-10 mA ADC zero-point calibration.
Step4: I-100 mA and I-10 mA ADC full-scale calibration.
Step5: I-10 A and I-1 A ADC zero-point calibration.
Step6: I-DAC zero-point calibration.
Step7: I-10 A and I-1 A ADC full-scale calibration.
Step8: I-DAC full-scale calibration.
Step9: I-100 mA ADC zero-point calibration for sink current.
Step10: I-100 mA ADC full-scale calibration for sink current.
Step11: I-1 A ADC zero-point calibration for sink current.
Step12: I-1 A ADC full-scale calibration for sink current.
Details
This command is used to start each calibration step. Users should follow the calibration procedure.
See Example.
Example
:CAL:PROT:STAT ON, 'KI002281'
Enable the calibration mode.
:CAL:PROT:STEP1
Start voltage DAC and ADC zero-calibration point.
:CAL:PROT:STEP1:DATA 0.2996
Enter the voltage reading from the external DMM.
*OPC?
Wait until step 1 finishes. When finished, this
command returns 1.
:CAL:PROT:STEP2
Start voltage DAC and ADC full-scale calibration.
:CAL:PROT:STEP2:DATA 29.945
Enter the voltage reading from external DMM.
*OPC?
Wait until step 2 finishes. When finished, this
command returns 1.
:CAL:PROT:STEP3
Start current ADC zero-point calibration on the 100 mA
range.
