Calibration Language Dictionary
The calibration commands are listed in alphabetical order. The format for each command follows that shown in chapter 7 -
Language Dictionary. Calibration error messages that can occur during GPIB calibration are shown in Table B-6.
CAL:CURR
This command is used to calibrate the output current. The command enters current value that you obtain from an external
meter. (If you are entering the current value, allow time for the DVM to stabilize.) You must first select a calibration level
(CAL:CURR:LEV) for the value being entered. Two successive values (one for each end of the calibration range) must be
selected and entered. The Agilent SAS then computes new current calibration constants. These constants are not stored in
nonvolatile memory until saved with the CAL:SAVE command.
Command Syntax CALibrate:CURRent[:DATA] <NRf>
Parameters
(See applicable Output Ratings specification in appendix A)
Default Suffix
A
Examples
CAL: CURR 32 . 33 A CAL: CURR: DATA 5 . 00
Related Commands CAL:SAVE CAL:STAT
CAL:CURR:LEV
This command sets the Agilent SAS to a calibration point that is then entered with CAL:CURR[:DATA]. During
calibration, two points must be entered and the low-end point (MIN) must be selected and entered first.
Command Syntax CALibrate:CURRent:LEVel {MIN|MAX}
Parameters {<CRD>|MINimum|MAXimum}
Examples CAL: CURR: LEV MIN CAL: CURR: LEV MAX
Related Commands CAL:CURR[:DATA] CAL:STAT
CAL:PASS
This command enters a new calibration password. The command is active only when the Agilent SAS is already in the
calibration mode. Unless it is changed subsequently to shipment, the password is the Agilent SAS’s model number. If the
password is set to 0, password protection is removed and CAL:STAT ON is unrestricted. A new password is automatically
stored in nonvolatile memory and does not have to be stored with the CAL:SAVE command.
Command Syntax
CALibrate:PASScode <NRf>
Parameters
<NRf>
Examples
CAL:PASS 4350 CAL:PASS 09.1993

CAL:STAT
CAL:SAVE
This command saves any new calibration constants (after a current or voltage calibration procedure has been completed) in
nonvolatile memory.
