Comments

The new calibration constant is used by the module but not stored in non-volatile
memory.

This command is used together with the

CALibration:CONFigure:RESistance?

query to calibrate the internal current calibration resistor.

The internal calibration resistor should be calibrated before calibrating channels in
current mode. When calibrating at the CAL connections and using the internal
calibration resistor, the value need only be entered once to calibrate all channels.

If using an external resistor to calibrate current mode, you must calibrate at each
channel output. External resistances in the range of 50

to 500

are recommended.

Refer to Appendix D, “ Voltage/Current Output Adjustment” , starting on page 154,
for additional information about this command.
