Calibration Overview
This section gives a brief introduction to the calibration features of the
waveform generator. For a more detailed discussion of the calibration
procedures, see chapter 4 in the Agilent 33500 Series Service Guide.
Calibration Security
This feature allows you to enter a security code to prevent accidental or
unauthorized calibrations of the waveform generator. When you first
receive your waveform generator, it is secured. Before you can perform a
calibration, you must unsecure the waveform generator by entering the
correct security code.
• The security code is set to “AT33520A” when the waveform generator
is shipped from the factory. The security code is stored in non-volatile
memory and does not change when power has been off or after a
remote interface reset.
• The security code may contain up to 12 alphanumeric characters.
The first character must be a letter, but the remaining characters can
be letters, numbers, or an underscore (“_”). You do not have to use all
12 characters but the first character must always be a letter.
If you forget your security code, see the Agilent 33500 Series Service
Guide for more information.
