Details
This attribute stores the calibration date associated with the active calibration set. The calibration date can be
read at any time but can only be assigned a new value when calibration has been enabled with the
smu
X
.cal.unlock()
function.
This attribute is stored with the active calibration set. If a different calibration set is restored, this attribute will
reflect the date stored with that set.
smu
X
.cal.date
must be set to the date the calibration was done using the UTC time and date. The date is
stored as the number of seconds since UTC 12:00 am Jan 1, 1970.
Due to the internal storage format,
smu
X
.cal.date
is accurate to within a few minutes of the value set.
Example
smua.cal.date = os.time()
Sets calibration date for SMU channel A to the current time
set on the instrument.
