For a more detailed discussion of the calibration procedures, see the Agilent 34980A Service Guide. Please refer to that guide before attempting to calibrate the instrument as improper use of the CALibration commands can adversely affect the accuracy and reliability of the instrument. |
Remarks
If a calibration fails, "+1" is returned and an error is stored in the error queue. For a complete listing of the error messages related to calibration failures, see SCPI Error Messages.
The internal DMM is an optional assembly for the Agilent 34980A. An error is generated if the internal DMM is disabled (see INSTrument:DMM[:STATe] command) or not installed in the mainframe.
To calibrate the 34951A Isolated DAC Module, use the CALibration:MODule? command.
To calibrate the DAC channels on the 34952A Multifunction Module, use the CALibration:BEGin[:VOLTage] and CALibration:POINt? commands.
This command increments the calibration count on the internal DMM (see CALibration:COUNt? command).
Return Format
The command returns "+0" (calibration passed) or "+1" (calibration failed).
Example
The following command performs a calibration and returns a pass/fail indication.
