CALibration Subsystem
the same code to unsecure it from the other interface.
l This setting is non-volatile; it will not be changed by power cycling or *RST.
CALibration:SETup <step>
CALibration:SETup?
Configures the calibration step (default 1) to be performed. The instrument must be unlocked (CALibration_SECure_
STATe OFF,<code>) to calibrate. See Calibration Security for details.
Parameter Typical Return
Wholenumber,default1 +16
Prepare for calibration step 5:
CAL:SET 5
l This setting is non-volatile; it will not be changed by power cycling or *RST.
CALibration:STORe
Takes calibration constants in volatile memory (CALibration:ALL?), and places them in nonvolatile memory, where
they will not be changed by power cycle or *RST. Do this at the end of calibration, to avoid losing changes.
Parameter Typical Return
(none) (none)
Store calibration constants into non-volatile memory:
CAL:STOR
CALibration:STRing "<string>"
CALibration:STRing?
Stores a message of up to 40 characters in calibration memory. Common messages include last calibration date, cal-
ibration due date, or contact information for calibration department. The instrument must be unlocked (CALibration_
SECure_STATe OFF,<code>) to store this string.
Parameter Typical Return
Quotedstringupto40characters
May contain letters, numbers, spaces, and other common char-
acters.
"LASTCALOCT312011,DUEOCT312012"
(If no string stored, returns "")
CAL:STR "FOR CAL HELP, CALL JOE AT EXT 1234"
l May be stored only from remote interface, with instrument unsecured (CALibration:SECure:STATe OFF).
l You can read the message from the front-panel or remote interface, regardless of whether the instrument is
secured.
l Storing a calibration message overwrites the previous message.
l This setting is non-volatile; it will not be changed by power cycling or *RST.
