CALIBRATION SCPI Command Reference

The letter “C” in the “SCPI” column means that the command syntax is
SCPI compliant; an “N” in the “SCPI” column means that the command
syntax is not part of the SCPI definition.

Command

Description

SCPI

CALibrate

Calibration subsystem.

C

:DATA





Sets the values of the ten floating point calibration
constants:
1) output voltage DAC gain
2) output voltage DAC offset
3) output current DAC gain
4) output current DAC offset
5) output voltage protection DAC gain
6) output voltage protection DAC offset
7) voltage measurement ADC gain
8) voltage measurement ADC offset
9) current measurement ADC gain
10) current measurement ADC offset
Values are separated by space or comma.

N

:DATE

(applies to GPIB; see CAL:MOD:LASTCALDATE for
Ethernet) Sets the date last calibrated. (Should be
changed at each calibration).
Input format: YYYYMMDD

N

:DATE?

Returns the date last calibrated.

N

:INITial

Used to store next power up values.

N

:CURRent

Sets the power-on default value of current.

N

:CURRent?

Returns the default value of power-on current.

N

:VOLTage

Sets the power-on default voltage.

N


:MEASure:CURRent:
AVErage

Sets the number of readings to average together
when returning the current value with the

MEAS:CURR?

command to reduce noise in the

readback readings. Enter a value of 3 to 9, with the
value of 3 (factory default) providing the fastest
response time in the readings, but less rejection of
noise.

N

:MEASure:CURRent:
AVErage?

Returns the number 3 to 9 to indicate the number of
readings to average together when taking a current
reading.

N

:VOLTage?

Returns the default value of power-on voltage

N

[:AMPLitude]

Sets the power-on default voltage.

N

[:AMPLitude]?

Returns the power-on default voltage.

N

:PROTection

Sets the power-on default value of the overvoltage
protection.

N

:PROTection?

Returns the default value of the power-on
overvoltage protection.

N

:MEASure

Calibrate Measure subsystem

N

:CURRent

Calibrate Measure Current subsystem

N

:ADC?

Returns the integer value of the A/D for the current
measurement.

N

:CALCulate

Calculates the value of the gain and offset for current
measurements.

N

:GAIN

Sets the value of the gain for current measurements.
