L4451A and L4452A Calibration Procedures
CALibration:BEGin:CURRent 1, (@1001)
6
Measure the DAC output on the DMM. Subtract the current offset
measured in Step 2 from the reading. Write this value to the DAC
using the command:
CALibration:POINt?
(measured current in Amps)
Note the DAC output which is now calibration point 2 (Table A- 3).
Subtract the offset current from the new DMM reading and write the
value to the DAC as above.
7
Repeat Step 6 until the 13 current calibration points have been
entered and measured. ”0” is returned after the last calibration point
(point 13) indicating the end of the sequence.
8
Separately connect L4451A channels 2, 3, and 4 to the DMM as shown
in Figure A- 1. Repeat Steps 5 through 7 for each channel until
calibration points 1 through 13 have been measured and entered.
