Calibration Procedures
93
Repeat commands two through eight for any other outputs that must be calibrated on your power supply. After you have
completed calibration of all outputs, turn the calibration mode off by sending the CMODE0 command (see step 1) to the
power supply. The correction constants are stored in memory at this time.
Calibration Program
The following calibration program can be used as is, provided you have an HP Series 200 computer with the BASIC
programming language and an HP 3456A voltmeter. The calibration program is written with the assumption that your
power supply is at address 705 and the voltmeter is at address 722. The program will ask you which output is to be
calibrated and will prompt you to make the voltage and current calibration connections shown in Figure A-1.
