System Adjustments
Agilent E6171A/B Measurement Control Module adjustment must be done 
in the Agilent TS-5400 Test System where the E6171A/B module resides. 
Agilent E6171A/B specific measurement constants are stored in the PC 
controller as part of the TestExec SL software. A “soft” or system-wide 
adjustment can be done at any time. The TestExec SL software notifies you 
if 30 days have expired since the last system-wide adjustment. A complete 
module calibration should be performed annually or when anything in the 
system changes (for example, moving the system to a new location, 
changing any VXI module (Agilent E6171A/B or E1411B DMM, etc.). The 
Agilent E1411B in the test system is the reference and must be calibrated 
first. 
Procedure Do the following:
1. Select and run the ‘autoadj.tpa’ testplan to perform the 
system-wide adjustment.
2. Locate the ‘manual’ entry in the AutoAdj action in the “Parameters” 
section of the ‘
autoadj.tpa’ testplan form.
3. Set manual to 0 (default) to only perform the system-wide 
adjustment; set 
manual to 1 to perform both the system-wide 
adjustment AND the Agilent E6171A/B manual adjustments.
4. When the ‘autoadj.tpa’ testplan executes the Test AutoAdj 
Query
 test, the system prompts for a ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ response. Enter 
YES to execute the Test Auto Adjust action.
Note Remove any test fixture before running ‘autoadj.tpa’ or the autoadj 
action (action is part of ‘autoadj.tpa’).
