CALibration

n

:CONFigure:VOLTage?

configures the channel for voltage mode

calibration and returns a

0

or

1

to indicate the channel’s readiness for calibration.

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:VOLTage?

query to

perform voltage 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 voltage to the CAL output
terminals (and opens all channel output terminals).

When the command

DIAG:CAL:OUTP:MODE CHANnel

is used, the output

relay routes the calibration voltage to the channel terminals (the CAL terminals
are

not

connected).

The

DIAGnostic:CALibration:OUTPut[:MODE]

command must be sent to the

module before the

CALibration

n

:CONFigure:VOLTage?

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 command 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 voltage 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.
