To jump to specific calibration steps, these two commands can be modified by
specifying an entry point. The allowable entry points are as shown in Table 3-12.

Entry points for CAL_START FACTORY Modifier
NORMAL Volts and AUX Volts Phase PHASE
Volts and Current Phase IPHASE
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
To go directly to Phase calibration, send the command:
CAL_START FACTORY,PHASE
These calibration commands can be used with either the IEEE-488 or serial interface. To
use the serial interface, and without having to write a calibration program, do the
following:
1. Connect the appropriate COM port from a PC to the 5500A Serial 1 connector, using
a Fluke PM8914 cable.
2. Call up the Terminal program from within Microsoft Windows. Set the
communications parameters to match that of the 5500A.
3. Press E. At the prompt, type the desired calibration command, e.g.,
CAL_START FACTORY.
