Low Range Current Programming Calibration
This only applies to Agilent Models N6761A and N6762A.
Step 7.
Connect a precision shunt resistor to an output channel. Connect the
DVM to measure the voltage across the shunt. The shunt resistor
should be able to measure at least 120% of the rated output current of
this current range.
Step 8.
Select the low-current programming range. The following example
selects the 0.1 amp low-current programming range of channel 1. The
value to program a range must be the maximum current of the range.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select
System\Cal\Sequences\Iprog
.
Then select the Low range.
CAL:CURR 0.1
, (@1)
Step 9.
Select the first current calibration point.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select Next. The information field
should indicate: Enter P1 data
CAL:LEV P1
*OPC?
Step 10.
Wait 3 minutes for the output current to stabilize. Then calculate the
shunt current (I=V/R) and enter the data.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select the Measured Data field. Enter
the data from the external DVM.
Press Select when done.
CAL:DATA <data>
Step 11.
Select the second current calibration point.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select Next. The information field
should indicate: Enter P2 data
CAL:LEV P2
*OPC?
Step 12.
Wait 15 seconds for the output current to stabilize. Then calculate
the shunt current (I=V/R) and enter the data.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select the Measured Data field. Enter
the data from the external DVM.
Press Select when done.
Press Next to finish calibration.
