Keithley 2015 Service Manual

B-8 Calibration Reference
:DATE
(:CALibration:PROTected:DATE)
Purpose To send the calibration date to the instrument.
Format :cal:prot:date <year>, <month>, <day>
Parameters <year> = 1998 to 2097
<month> = 1 to 12
<day> = 1 to 31
Query format :cal:prot:date?
Response <year>, <month>, <day>
Description The :DATE command allows you to store the calibration date in instrument
memory for future reference. You can read back the date from the instrument
over the bus by using the :DATE? query or the CALIBRATION selection in
the front panel CAL menu.
NOTE The year, month, and day parameters must be delimited by commas.
Examples :CAL:PROT:DATE 1998,12,16 Send cal date (12/16/98).
:CAL:PROT:DATE? Request cal date.
:NDUE
:CALibration:PROTected:NDUE)
Purpose To send the next calibration due date to the instrument.
Format :cal:prot:ndue <year>, <month>, <day>
Parameters <year> = 1998 to 2097
<month> = 1 to 12
<day> = 1 to 31
Query format :cal:prot:ndue?
Response <year>, <month>, <day>
Description The :NDUE command allows you to store the date when calibration is next
due in instrument memory. You can read back the next due date from the
instrument over the bus by using the :NDUE? query or the front panel CAL
menu.
NOTE The next due date parameters must be delimited by commas.
Examples :CAL:PROT:NDUE 1998,12,16 Send due date (12/16/98).
:CAL:PROT:NDUE? Request due date.
