A negative voltage... How is that even possible?

It's always been like that on my DP832. I assume that, just as they go to +32V internally so that they can guarantee that they can do +30V after calibration, they have to go to somewhat negative values to guarantee a good 0.
kazam:
Success!
I just went ahead with the script and then power cycled. All readings are within 1mV.
Attaching the updated Matlab script as well with notes.

kazam:
Looking good!

LaurentR:
Looks great (making me have Keithley envy)!
Note that for the "readings within 1mV", if you do a full sweep, you'll discover the DAC is a bit all over the place in some spots. See this thread for more background:

So across the sweep, it's actually much closer to the quoted 10mV accuracy.
kazam:
Haha, yes. Great DMM. Highly recommend.
I did a sweep across voltages and attaching the plots. Could be useful for someone I suppose.
I did open it up and soldered a rod across the common terminals of CH2 and CH3 as well. Since I'm working with the unit I might as well do everything properly.
