Perform a Sliding Load Calibration using GPIB

This Visual Basic program does a only the sliding load portion of a Calibration.

To run this program, you need:

An established GPIB interface connection
A measurement and calibration routine to call this sub-program
STAN3 set up as a sliding load standard

Sub slide()
'Measure the sliding load for at least 5 and no more than 7 slides
'Note that "SLSET" and "SLDONE" must be executed before the actual acquisition of a slide
MsgBox "Connect Sliding Load; set to Position 1; then press OK"
GPIB.Write "SENS:CORR:COLL SLSET"
GPIB.Write "SENS:CORR:COLL STAN3;"

MsgBox "Set Sliding Load to position 2; then press OK"
GPIB.Write "SENS:CORR:COLL SLSET"
GPIB.Write "SENS:CORR:COLL STAN3;"

MsgBox "Set Sliding Load to position 3; then press OK"
GPIB.Write "SENS:CORR:COLL SLDONE"
GPIB.Write "SENS:CORR:COLL STAN3;"
End Sub
