Hey Jan could you share the results and the table that you got?

Redoing after restarting the PSU - which loads the original table

Awesome write up!

I spent 17 years in an aviation career where there was a lab and a group of technicians that repaired and calibrated test equipment. Leaving that environment you ask yourself the question, hey how do I know that this equipment is accurate?

figures 7-10 contain 2 plots, one from the pre- and one post-calibration. I reuploaded the post-calibration plot, since I could see the other one. Letme know if everything looks alright now

Might just be me, but I don't see any of the figures in your post - only the captions.

I have this PSU too. The DP832A version. Never calibrated, hesitant to do that myself.

Reminds me that my Keithley DMM is due for calibration. That one I want to bring to Welectron in Germany - always a good excuse for a daytrip. When the curfew is over ...

edit:

My previous experience with Rigol's test equipment software and remote control was not good, they were unstable and not usable at all. I was surprised to find that now the TCP/IP link worked very well.

What issues do you have? Software incompatibility?

I'm using them with TCP/IP too (PSU, oscilloscope) and they behave OK.
