Low Range Current Measurement Calibration
This only applies to Agilent Models N6761A and N6762A.
Step 13.
Remove all loads from the output and turn the output off. Wait a
minimum of 3 minutes with the output off before proceeding.
Step 14.
Select the low-current measurement range. The following example
selects the 0.1 amp low-current measurement range of channel 1. The
value to program a range must be the maximum current of the range.
Step 15.
Steps 15 and 16 only apply to units with firmware revision A.01.04
and up. If your unit has firmware revision A.01.03 or less, skip these
steps and go to step 17.
Wait a minimum of 4 minutes for the internal temperature to
stabilize. Then select the first current calibration point.

Step 16.
Re-connect the precision shunt resistor to the output and connect
the DVM across the shunt. Then select the second current calibration
point.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select Next. The information field
should indicate: Enter P2 data

Step 17.
This step only applies to units with firmware revision A.01.03 or
less. If your unit has firmware revision A.01.04, skip this step.
Re-connect the precision shunt resistor to the output and connect the
DVM across the shunt. Then select the second current calibration
point.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select Next. The information field
should indicate: Enter P1 data

*OPC?
Step 18.
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.
