Checking the calibration result
If [PASS] is displayed after calibration, the operation is normal. If a problem is
detected, a hexadecimal value indicating the problem can be displayed separately for
each circuit. Please quote this number when contacting your nearest YOKOGAWA
dealer for repairs.
Rebooting the system
After calibration, check that the TA120E starts up normally and that it is ready to make
measurements.
Calibration using the GP-IB command
You can perform calibration using a GP-IB command. In this case, connect the GP-IB
cable.
• When you wish to set the calibration value back to the factory default when
the system is rebooted
• Perform calibration using the
*CAL?
command (see page 8-33). You can make
measurements using the calibration value obtained through the execution of the
*CAL?
command until the system is rebooted. Once you turn OFF the TA120E
and turn it back ON, the calibration value returns to the factory default.
• You cannot perform the calibration corresponding to the
*CAL?
command from
the front panel of the TA120E.
• When you wish to change the factory default calibration value
• Perform the calibration using the
XCAL
command. After calibration, the factory
default calibration value is changed. Because the factory default calibration
value is overwritten, you cannot set the calibration value back to factory default
even if you execute the
*CAL?
command.
• Calibration using the
XCAL
command is the same function as the calibration
performed from the front panel.
Command
Description
*CAL?
Execute calibration. The factory default calibration value is not
changed.
DUMPENABLE
Enable the calibration value to be changed.
XCAL
Execute calibration and then change the factory default calibration
value.
DUMPDISABLE
Prohibits the calibration value from being changed.
Note
After you enable the calibration value to be changed using the
DUMPENABLE
command,
execute calibration and change the factory default calibration value using the
XCAL
command,
prevent the calibration value from being changed inadvertently using the
DUMPDISABLE
command.
