• UTILITY FUNCTNS (Utility Functions) Allows you to initiate self-tests, format the
nonvolatile memory (restore factory default settings), and review the instrument
configuration software versions and user report string. These features are explained
under “Utilities Function Menu” later in this chapter.

The softkeys in the instrument setup menu (accessed by pressing INSTMT SETUP
softkey in the Setup Menu) are shown below.

The list below describes submenus accessed by each softkey.
• OTHER SETUP Opens a menu that lets you toggle the degree reference between the
1968 International Provisional Temperature Standard (ipts-68) and the 1990
International Temperature Standard (its-90) (factory default). This is also where you
set the clock, and set the power-up and reset defaults for the SC-600 Oscilloscope
Calibration Options’s Overload test safety timeout function (OVLD T), and
displayed error units. For Main software version 1.9 or greater, this is where you
configure the instrument for best operation with a 50 Hz line frequency.
• OUTPUT SETUP Opens a menu to change the power-up and reset defaults for
current and voltage output limits, default thermocouple and RTD types, set the phase
reference, internal or external phase reference source, impedance for dBm display,
and pressure units.
• DISPLAY SETUP Opens submenus to set the brightness and contrast of both the
Control Display and Output Display.
• REMOTE SETUP Allows you to change the configuration of the two RS-232 ports,
SERIAL 1 FROM HOST and SERIAL 2 TO UUT, and IEEE-488 General Purpose
Interface Bus (GPIB). (See Chapter 5, “Remote Operation” for more information.)
4-7. Utility Functions Menu
The Setup Menu softkey labeled UTILITY FUNCTNS (Utility Functions) provides
access to Self Test, Format Nonvolatile Memory, and Instrument Configuration.

• FORMAT NV MEM (Format Nonvolatile Memory) Opens a menu to restore all or
part of the data in the nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) to factory defaults.
• INSTMT CONFIG (Instrument Configuration) Allows you to view the versions of
software installed in the calibrator as well as the user-entered report string.
