Specifications

CAL:STAT
This command enables and disables the calibration mode. The calibration mode must be enabled before the
power supply will accept any other calibration commands.
Whenever the calibration mode is changed from enabled to disabled, any new calibration constants are lost
unless they have been stored with CAL:SAVE.

CAL:SAV
Note: If the calibration password is set, the password string must match the existing password. Otherwise,
gives an error message.
CAL:VOLT
This command can only be used in the calibration mode. It enters a voltage value that is obtained from an
external meter. Users must first select a calibration level (CAL:VOLT:LEV) for the value being entered.
Two successive values (one for each end of the calibration range) must be selected and entered. The power
supply then computes new voltage calibration constants. These constants are not stored in nonvolatile
memory until saved with the CAL:SAVE command.

CAL:VOLT:LEV
This command can only be used in the calibration mode. It sets the power supply to a voltage calibration
point that is then entered with CAL:VOLT[:DATA]. During calibration, two points must be entered and
the low-end point (MIN) must be selected and entered first.
