Calibration Command Reference
3-4
3.3.3 :SAVE
(:CALibration:PROTected):SAVE
Purpose To save calibration constants in EEPROM after the calibration procedure.
Format :cal:prot:save
Parameters None
Description The :SAVE command stores internally calculated calibration constants derived during cal-
ibration in EEPROM. EEPROM is non-volatile memory, and calibration constants will be
retained indefinitely once saved. Generally, :SAVE is the last command sent during calibra-
tion.
Programming note Calibration will be only temporary unless the :SAVE command is sent to permanently store
calibration constants.
Programming example 10 OUTPUT 716; “:CAL:PROT:SAVE” ! Save constants.
3.3.4 :DATA?
(:CALibration:PROTected):DATA?
Purpose To download calibration constants from the Model 2001
Format :cal:prot:data?
Response <Cal 1>,<Cal 2>,...<Cal n>
Description :DATA? allows you to request the present calibration constants stored in EEPROM from the
instrument. This command can be used to compare present constants with those from a pre-
vious calibration procedure to verify that calibration was performed properly. The returned
values are 99 numbers using ASCII representation delimited by commas (,). See Appendix
C for a listing of constants.
Programming note The :CAL:PROT:DATA? response is not affected by the FORMAT subsystem.
Programming example 10 DIM A$[2000] ! Dimension string.
20 OUTPUT 716; “:CAL:PROT:DATA?” ! Request constants.
30 ENTER 716; A$ ! Input constants.
40 PRINT A$ ! Display constants.
