Calibration Security
The calibration security code prevents accidental or 
unauthorized adjustments to the instrument. When you first 
receive your instrument, it is secured. Before you can adjust 
the instrument, you must unsecure it by entering the correct 
security code (see “Unsecuring the Instrument for 
Calibration” on page 88).
The security code is set to AT34405 when the instrument is 
shipped from the factory. The security code is stored in 
non- volatile memory, and does not change when power is 
turned off or after a Factory Reset (*RST command) or after 
an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command). 
The security code may contain up to 12 alphanumeric 
characters. The first character must be a letter. The 
remaining characters can be letters or numbers. You do not 
have to use all 12 characters. 
NOTE
You can unsecure the instrument from the front panel, but you cannot 
enter a new security code or change the security code from the front 
panel. The security code can only be changed from the remote interface 
after the instrument has been unsecured. Refer to the CAL:SEC:CODE 
command in the 34405A Programmer's Reference Help File for more 
details.
