For details on the procedure to perform cable compensation, see Cable compensation tests (on
page 6-9).

The return values from status can be:
• 0: OK.
• -10000 (INVAL_INST_ID): The specified instrument ID does not exist
• -10021 (COMP_FILE_NOT_EXIST): The specified compensation file does not exist
• -10022 (KI590_NOT_IN_KCON): There is no CMTR defined in your system configuration
• -10090 (GPIB_ERROR_OCCURRED): A GPIB communications error occurred
• -10100 (INVAL_PARAM): An invalid input parameter is specified
If CabCompFile does not exist, or if there is no path specified (null string), the default compensation
parameters are used. When entering the path, be sure to use two \ characters to separate each
directory. For example, if your cable file is in:
C:\calfiles\82cal.dat
You would enter:
C:\\calfiles\\82cal.dat
If you are controlling a switch matrix to route signals using a connection UTM (for example,
“connect”), you do not need connect InputPin and OutputPin. Set these parameters to 0.
