Calibrate current
Let the unit sit with output ON for one minute, then connect a current monitoring resistor across the output
terminals to be calibrated and then connect a DMM across the terminals of the monitoring resistor.

Save the calibration data
To save calibration data, go to the ‘CAL Save’ menu to save the calibration data or enable the ‘Auto Save’ feature.
With Auto Save, calibration data will be saved whenever a calibration point is calibrated successfully.
After completing the Voltage and Current calibrations, save the calibration data before exiting the calibration state,
or simply exit the calibration state if Auto Save is on.
To save the CAL data: CAL:SAVE
To enable the CAL Auto Save: CAL:ASAVE ON
To exit CAL State: CAL:SEC:STAT 1, <code>
