Calibration Failures

Note
During calibration, the measurement rateis selected automatically as
required by thecalibration step.
Table 5-9 or Table 5-10 may be useful in isolating a calibration problem to specific
components. Table 5-9 can be used with a Hydra having a main software version number
of 5.4 or higher. Table 5-10 can be used with main software versions lower than 5.4.
Note that the software version number is not marked on the Hydra case. Use either of the
following two methods to determine your software version number:
• From the Hydra front panel, simultaneously press [ltb] and [rtb]. Themain software
version number (e.g., "5.4") appears in the leftdisplay. (The A/D software version
number (e.g., A4.7 appears in theright display.) Press [cnc] to return to normal front
paneloperation.
• Over the computer interface, send the *IDN? query. The main softwareversion (e.g.,
"M5.4") is returned as part of the response. Refer toSection 4 of the Hydra Users
Manual for a more detailed descriptionof *IDN?.
