Details
Use this command to store internally calculated calibration constants that were derived during the
comprehensive adjustment procedure to nonvolatile memory. Calibration constants are retained
indefinitely once saved.
The
:CALibration:SAVE
command is usually sent after all other adjustment steps have been
completed, but before sending the
:CALibration:LOCK
command.
Adjustment is only temporary until the :
CALibration:SAVE
command is sent to permanently store
the calibration constants.
Adjustment data will not be saved if one of the following conditions occurs:
•
Calibration was not unlocked by sending the
:CALibration:UNLock
command before
adjustment
•
Invalid data exists (for example, an adjustment step failed or was aborted)
•
An incomplete number of adjustment steps were performed (for example, if a negative full-scale
step was omitted)
Example
:CAL:SAVE
Save the calibration constants.
