Step 5. Program calibration dates
Use the following command to set the calibration adjustment date:
smua.cal.adjustdate = os.time{year=2005, month=1, day=1}
Optionally, it is possible to set the calibration date and calibration due date with the following
commands:
smua.cal.date = os.time{year=2005, month=1, day=1}
smua.cal.due = os.time{year=2006, month=1, day=1}
If you do not wish to set a calibration date or calibration due date and want to clear the previous
values, use the following commands:
smua.cal.date = 0
smua.cal.due = 0
The actual year, month, and day, as well as (optional) hour, and minute should be used (seconds
can be given but will essentially be ignored due to the precision of the internal date storage
format). The allowable range for the year is from 2005 to 2037, the month is from 1 to 12, and the
day is from 1 to 31.
Step 6. Save calibration constants
Calibration is now complete, so you can store the calibration constants in nonvolatile memory by
sending the following command:
smua.cal.save()
Calibration just performed will be temporary unless you send the save command.
