Note: Actual allowable parameter ranges are ±50% of full range for zero parameters, 75% of full
scale to 150% of full scale for full-range parameters, but ranges listed above should be observed
for optimum calibration.
:SOURCE
(:CALibration:PROTected:SOURce)
Purpose To calibrate the source function.
Format :cal:prot:sour <nrf>
Parameters See Table B-3 for recommended parameter ranges.
Description The :CAL:PROT:SOUR command calibrates the Model 2430 source func-
tion. To use this command, you must (1) program the source to the correct
value, (2) select the range being calibrated, and (3) send the
:CAL:PROT:SOUR command for each parameter listed in Table B-3.
Note When the Model 2430 receives this command, it will attempt to place the pa-
rameter into one of the four parameter ranges summarized in Table B-3, de-
pending on the active :SOUR:FUNC and range. If the parameter does not fit
into any of the four allowed ranges, an error number -222, “Parameter data
out of range” will be generated. Once the unit has successfully selected the
appropriate parameter range, it will then check to see if the active source is
programmed to a value within the selected parameter range, and that
:OUTP:STAT is ON. If the active source is not programmed to a value with
-
in the parameter range (or if the source is in autorange or in standby), an error
number -221, “Settings conflict” will be generated. If no error occurs, the ac
-
tive source function/range point will be calibrated using the corresponding
parameter.
