Changing the Calibration Password
The factory default password is 0. You can change the password when the dc source is in
calibration mode (which requires you to enter the existing password). Proceed as follows:
Action Display
1. Begin by pressing Shift Cal and scrolling to the CAL ON command. CAL ON 0.0
2. Enter the existing password from Entry keypad and press Enter
3. Press Shift Cal and scroll to the CAL PASS command. CAL:PASS 0
4. Enter the new password from the keypad. You can use any number with up
to six digits and an optional decimal point. If you want the calibration
function to operate without requiring any password, change the password to
0 (zero).
NOTE: If you want the calibration function to operate without requiring any password,
change the password to 0 (zero).
Calibration Over the HP-IB
You can calibrate the dc source by using SCPI commands within your controller programming
statements. Be sure you are familiar with calibration from the front panel before you calibrate from
a controller. Each front panel calibration command has a corresponding SCPI command. When
you write your calibration program, perform the calibration procedure in the same order as the
front panel procedure documented in this appendix.
The SCPI calibration commands are explained in chapter 3 of the dc source Programming Guide.
Calibration error messages that can occur during HP-IB calibration are shown in table B-3.
