CALibration n :CONFigure:CURRent?
CALibration n :CONFigure:CURRent? configures the channel for current mode
calibration and returns a 0 or 1 to indicate the channel’s readiness for calibration.

CALibration n keyword 1 to 8 or 1 to 16 1
Returns: an unsigned 16-bit integer (uint16). 1 = ready, 0 = not ready.
Comments •
In the keyword, CALibration n, the valid range of n is:
1 to 8 for E1418A, E1418A Option 002
1 to 16 for E1418A Option 001, E1418A Option 003.
Values of n outside these ranges will generate an error.
•
This command is used together with the CALibration n :VALue:CURRent? < value >
query to perform current mode calibration.
•
The calibration is performed either at the CAL output terminals or at an individual
channel. The choice is made using the
DIAGnostic:CALibration:OUTPut[:MODE]
command.
– When the DIAG:CAL:OUTP:MODE CALBus command (also the reset state)
is used, the output relay routes the calibration current to the CAL output
terminals (and opens all channel output terminals).
– When the DIAG:CAL:OUTP:MODE CHANnel command is used, the output relay
routes the calibration current to the channel terminals (the CAL terminals are
not
connected).
The DIAG:CAL:OUTP:MODE command must be sent to the module before the
CALibration n :CONFigure:CURRent? query.
•
This query will generate an error if the trigger system is waiting for a trigger event
when this command is received.
•
This query returns a 0 to indicate that the channel is not ready for calibration, and
a 1 to indicate the channel is ready for calibration.
•
This query is affected by the state of the program jumper for this channel on the
terminal module. To use this command:
– the P/J jumper must be set to program selectable or, if set to jumper selectable,
– the V/I jumper must be set to the current mode. The jumpers are described on
page 31.

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