3.4.2 Volts function calibration commands
Purpose
To calibrate voltage function ranges.
Format
See Table 3-2.
Parameter
See Table 3-2.
Description
The :V commands calibrate the three volts function ranges: 2V, 20V, and 200V. Each range
requires three commands, corresponding to zero, positive full range, and negative full range. For
example, :VZERO2 calibrates 2V range zero, while :V2 and :VN2 calibrate positive 2V full
range and negative 2V full-range values respectively. Normally, 95% of full-range values should
be used. For example, +19V and -19V should be used to calibrate the 20V range.
Programming Note
All three commands for a given range must be sent in order to properly calibrate that range.
Examples
:CAL:PROT:VZERO20
Cal 20V range zero.
:CAL:PROT:V20 19
Cal 20V positive 95% of full range.
:CAL:PROT:VN20 -19
Cal 20V negative 95% of full range.
