Keysight M9182A/M9183A Calibration and Verification Procedure

Storing the Calibration Constants
To store the calibration values in non-volatile calibration memory from the remote
interface, use the AgM918x_CalibrateStoreCalibrationConstants function. From
the SFP, press “Store Calibration Constant.” This measured calibration constant,
along with the Calibration Message, is stored in non-volatile memory of the DMM
and from the SFP you will see the calibration count increment by one. (From the
remote interface you can read the calibration count if you desire).
Aborting a Calibration in Progress
Sometimes it may be necessary to abort a calibration after the procedure has
already been initiated. You can abort a calibration at any time on any module by
turning off the power or closing the calibration window on the Soft Front Panel or
closing the device.
Adjustments
You will need a test input cable and connectors set and a low thermal input short
Calibration adjustments
Each calibration step number must be executed to perform a complete calibration
of the product. (Refer to the Calibration Chart) for the various calibration steps.
Calibration Step dependencies are indicated when certain calibration steps must
be performed before another step can be performed.
Unless otherwise indicated, set the aperture of the DMM to 0.5 sec for all
calibration steps.
NOTE
You do not need to store calibration constants after every calibration step, but
you must store them before leaving the calibration process. If this is not done
and you leave the calibration process; all performed calibration steps will be lost
as they will not be stored in the nonvolatile calibration memory.
