Calibration Error Messages
Errors that can occur during calibration are shown in the following table.
Table B-3. GPIB Calibration Error Messages
Error Meaning
401 CAL switch prevents calibration (This is a hardware disable, see the ac source Service Manual.)
402 CAL password is incorrect
403 CAL not enabled
404 Computed readback cal constants are incorrect
405 Computed programming cal constants are incorrect
406 Incorrect sequence of calibration commands
Calibration Over the GPIB
You can calibrate the ac source by using SCPI commands within your controller programming
statements. Be sure you are familiar with calibration from the front panel before you calibrate from a
controller. Each front panel calibration command has a corresponding SCPI command.
The SCPI calibration commands are explained in Chapter 3 of the ac source Programming Guide.
Calibration error messages that can occur during GPIB calibration are shown in table B-3.
Agilent Calibration Program Listing
Figure B-2 lists the calibration program. This program can be run on any controller operating under
Agilent BASIC. The assumed power supply address is 705 and calibration password is 0. If required,
change these parameters in the appropriate statements.
