4 Performance Tests and Calibration
Unsecuring the Instrument for Calibration
Before you can adjust the instrument, you must unsecure it 
by entering the correct security code. 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 has been off or after a 
Factory Reset (*RST command).
Unsecuring from the Front Panel
Only five characters (the third through seventh characters) 
of the security code are used to unsecure the instrument 
from the front panel. If there are letters instead of digits in 
any of the third through seventh characters, those letters 
will be represented as "0" from the front panel.
Example 1 
Assume the calibration security code is the factory setting of 
AT34405. When unsecuring from the front panel, the code 
length is five characters and the first two characters are 
ignored. In our example, the code now becomes:
34405
Example 2
Assume the calibration security code was set to AT01A405 
from the remote interface. When unsecuring from the front 
panel, the first two characters and any characters after the 
eighth through twelfth character are ignored. In our 
example, the code now becomes:
01A40
From the front panel, any letters (A in this example) are 
represented by 0. Use this code to unsecure:
01040
