Calibration Message

Calibration Message
The instrument allows you to store one message in calibration memory.
For example, you can store the date when the last calibration was
performed, the date when the next calibration is due, the instrument's
serial number, or even 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 instrument is unsecured. Use the CAL:STRING
<message> command.
You can read the message from either the front-panel or over the remote
interface. You can read the calibration message whether the instrument
is secured or unsecured. Reading the calibration message from the front
panel is described on. Use the CAL:STRING? query to read the message
over the remote interface.
Calibration Count
You can query the instrument to determine how many calibrations have
been performed. Note that your instrument was calibrated before it left
the factory. When you receive your instrument, read the count to
determine its initial value. The count value increments by one for each
calibration point for each calibration point which stores a new
calibration value, and a complete calibration will increase the value by
many counts. Use the CAL:COUNT? query to read the count over the
remote interface.
