Calibration Adjustment Procedures
This chapter includes calibration adjustment procedures for Keysight E36100B Series power supplies. Instructions
are applicable for performing the procedures from either the front panel or a controller over the LAN or USB.
Perform the verification tests before calibrating your instrument. If the instrument passes the verification tests, the
unit is operating within its calibration limits and does not need to be re-calibrated.
Closed–case electronic calibration
The instrument uses closed-case electronic calibration; no internal mechanical adjustments are required. The
instrument calculates correction factors based on reference signals that you apply and stores the correction factors
in non-volatile memory. This data is not changed by cycling power, *RST, or SYSTem:PRESet.
Calibration interval
The recommended calibration interval for Keysight E36100B Series power supplies is one year.
Calibration adjustment process
The following general procedure is recommended to complete a full calibration adjustment.
1. Adhere to the test considerations. See
2. Perform the performance verification tests to characterize the instrument. See
details.
3. Unsecure the instrument for calibration. See
4. Perform the calibration procedures. See
5. Secure the instrument against the calibration. See
6. Take note of the security code and calibration count in the instrument's maintenance records.
7. Perform the performance verification tests to verify the calibration.
