Details
Calibration constants must be unlocked with the
:CALibration:UNLock
command before sending
this command.
If the specified parameters do not fit within the allowed ranges for the parameter, error -222,
"Parameter data out of range" is generated. Once the Model 2461 has successfully selected the
appropriate parameter range, it checks to see if autorange for the active source function is enabled
and that the output state is set to
ON
. If autorange is enabled or the output is set to
OFF
, error -221,
"Settings conflict" is generated. If no error occurs, the specified range point for the active source
function is adjusted using the corresponding parameter.
You must send the
:CALibration:SAVE
command after making changes, or your changes will not
be saved through a power cycle.
Because the source is adjusted for both positive and negative values, two zero adjustment points are
required. The Model 2461 automatically uses the appropriate zero parameter based on whether the
source polarity is positive or negative.
Example
CAL:ADJ:SOUR +2.00003
Adjust the 2 V source range.
