5.3.7 IEEE-488 Bus Digital Calibration
After completing the manual calibration adjustments
(paragraph 5.3.5), perform the following procedure to
digitally calibrate the Model 263 over the IEEE-488 bus.
1. Connect the Models 263 and 617 to the GPIB interface
of the HP 85 computer.
2. Set the IEEE-488 address of the Model 263 to 8 and set
the address of the Model 617 to 27.
3. Enter the calibration program into the HI’ 85 computer.
4. To calibrate the instrument, simply press the RUN key
on the computer and follow the instructions on the CRT
5. After all functions are calibrated, the program will
prompt for permanent storage of calibration constants
in NVRAM (line 880). This provides the user the op-
portunity to stop at this point in order to avoid perma-
nent calibration. The calibration constants will be lost
when the instrument is turned off.
6. Storage of calibration constants into NVRAM is per-
formed by line 940 of the program, and is indicated by
the “Star” message on the Model 617. If instead the
message “out” is displayed, then the calibration
jumper is in the disable position (paragraph 5.3.1) and
calibration constants will be lost when the Model 617
is turned off.
