Calibration commands
:STEP0
(:CALibration:PROTected:CARD1:STEP0)
Purpose
To perform Model 7706 temperature calibration.
Format
:CAL:PROT:CARD1:STEP0 <TEMP>
Parameter
<temp> = Cold calibration temperature (°C)
Description
:STEP0 performs temperature sensor calibration of the Model 7706. The card must be
allowed to cool down to ambient temperature before calibration, and the cold temperature
of the card must be measured and sent as the <temp> parameter during calibration.
NOTE
Before calibrating the temperature for the Model 7706, make sure that power has been removed from the card
for at least two hours to allow card circuitry to cool down. After turning on the power during the calibration
procedure, complete the procedure as quickly as possible to minimize card heating that could affect calibra-
tion accuracy.
Example
:CAL:PROT:CARD1:STEP0 23
Perform 7706 temperature calibration with card at
a temperature of 23°C (measured with an external
probe).
:DAC
:STEP0
(:CALibration:PROTected:CARD1:DAC:STEP0)
Purpose
To perform Model 7706 analog output (DAC) calibration.
Format
:CAL:PROT:CARD1:DAC:STEP0
Parameter
none
Description
:STEP0 performs analog output calibration of the Model 7706. The card must be allowed
to warm up inside the powered-up unit for two hours before calibration. In this step, CH23
(analog output 1) must be connected to CH1, and CH24 (analog output 2) must be
connected to CH2.
Example
:CAL:PROT:CARD1:DAC:STEP0
Perform 7706 DAC calibration.
