HP E1418A - Manual (Page 75)

•
A returned value of 5 (calibration aborted) is given if either:
a. The command is received when the module is in voltage calibration or
resistance calibration mode, or
b. The calibration in process has entered more than 50 values without a
successful calibration.
•
If the internal calibration resistor is not calibrated, the channel is not marked as
calibrated following the completion of calibration (see the
CALibration:CONDition?
query). The new calibration constants are used, however.
•
When the channel current calibration is completed, the new calibration constants
are used by the module, but not stored in non-volatile memory.
•
If a calibration is interrupted before completion (that is, by another command
being received), no constants will be changed.
•
Refer to Appendix D, “ Voltage/Current Output Adjustment” , starting on page 154,
for additional information about this command.

Related Commands: CALibration:STORe , CALibration n :CONFigure:CURRent?
CALibration n :VALue:VOLTage?
CALibration n :VALue:VOLTage? < value > enters a measured calibration value and
returns a value indicating the present state of the voltage calibration process.

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:VOLTage? query
to perform voltage mode calibration. Following the CAL n :CONF:VOLT? 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 voltage output channel
(a maximum of 50 measurements may be required).
