84 Multimeter Command Reference Chapter 3
CALibration?
CALibration? performs a calibration using the specified calibration value set by the
CALibration:VALue command and queries the calibration response to verify a
successful calibration.
Comments • Execution of this command begins the electronic adjustment for the function
and range the multimeter is set to. The adjustment is performed based on the
value stated in the
CAL:VAL command and the multimeter expects that value at
the input terminals.
• The command returns “0” to indicate there are no calibration errors and the
calibration was performed. A “
1” is returned if a calibration error occurs and a
calibration is unable to be performed. The error message is reported to the
output buffer.
• You must set CALibration:SECure:STATe OFF <code> to allow a calibration
to be performed. This requires that you know the calibration secure code. The
secure state enabled prevents unauthorized calibration of the multimeter.
