Front-panel calibration
To use the front-panel calibration:
1. Connect a low-thermal, four-wire short (Keithley Instruments Model 8610 or equivalent) to the
instrument front-panel input terminals.
2. Set
INPUTS
select switch to front terminals. Allow the connections to stabilize for a minimum of
five minutes before proceeding.
Make sure to connect the low-thermal short properly to the HI, LO, and SENSE terminals. Keep
drafts away from low-thermal connections to avoid thermal drift, which could affect calibration
accuracy.
3. Initiate the 2100 zero calibration by sending the following SCPI command:
cal:prot:dc:step 3,0
4. Wait until the following message is displayed on the 2100:
Cali ok
5. Remove the low-thermal, four-wire short from the front terminals.
