Calibration Message
The waveform generator allows you to store one message in calibration
memory in the mainframe. For example, you can store such information
as the date when the last calibration was performed, the date when the
next calibration is due, the waveform generator's serial number, or the
name and phone number of the person to contact for a new calibration.
• You can record a calibration message only from the remote interface
and only when the waveform generator is unsecured. You can read
the message from either the front-panel or over the remote interface.
You can read the calibration message whether the waveform
generator is secured or unsecured.
• The calibration message may contain up to 40 characters (additional
characters are truncated).
• Storing a calibration message will overwrite any message previously
stored in memory.
•
The calibration message is stored in
non-volatile
memory and
does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• Front-Panel Operation:Press
and
Calibrate.
•
Remote Interface Operation
: To store the calibration message, send the
