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 :CONFigure:CURRent?
query to perform voltage mode calibration. Following the CAL n :CONF:CURR?
query, this command is used repetitively until the return value indicates that the
calibration is complete.
•
The < value > parameter is the measured output voltage. A minimum of
9 measurements must be taken to calibrate a channel for current mode output
(a maximum of 50 measurements may be required).
•
This query returns one of the following values:
