The power supply has no potentiometers. Each output is individually calibrated over the GP-IB using calibration commands (see Appendix A). Correction factors are calculated by the power supply during calibration and are stored in a non-volatile memory which is located on the supply’s GP-IB board. The supply contains no batteries. Output Boards The output boards are linear dc power supplies. Each isolated output has the L-shaped operating curve described in Description, page 12 and Figure 1-1. Th
