For example, to jump directly to ac volts calibration, send the command:
CAL_START MAIN,AV
To go directly to Resistance calibration, send the command:
CAL_START MAIN,R
These calibration commands can be sent through the IEEE-488 or serial
interface. To type in commands through the serial interface:
1. Use a Fluke PM8914 cable to connect the applicable COM port on a PC to
