Calibration Message
You can use the calibration message feature to record calibration information
about your meter. For example, you can store such information as the last
calibration date, the next calibration due date, the meter’s serial number, or even
the name and phone number of the person to contact for a new calibration.
You can record information in the calibration message only from the remote
interface. You can read the message from either the front-panel menu or the
remote interface.
– The calibration message may contain up to 40 characters. The meter can
display up to 11 characters of the message on the front panel; any additional
characters are truncated.
– The calibration message is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
– Front Panel operation: read the calibration message (if any) under the
4: MESSAGE command in the CALibrate menu.
– Remote operation: use the following command to store a calibration message:
CALibration:STRing <quoted string>
The following statement shows how to store a calibration message from a
