Calibration commands
Table H-1 summarizes Model 6514 calibration commands.
Remote calibration overview
The steps below outline the general procedure for calibrating the Model 6514 using remote
commands. Refer to Section 19 for details on calibration steps, calibration points, and test equip-
ment connections.
1. Send the following command to unlock calibration:
:CAL:PROT:CODE ‘KI006514’
Note that the above command uses the factory default code.
2. Perform current and voltage offset correction by sending the following commands:
:CAL:UNPR:IOFF
:CAL:UNPR:VOFF
Be sure the appropriate connections are made to the INPUT jack before sending each
command (cap for IOFF; short for VOFF).
