Calibration Message
The instrument allows you to store one message in calibration memory in the
mainframe, a digital module, or the internal DMM (remote interface operation
only). For example, you can store such information as the date when the last
calibration was performed, the date when the next calibration is due, the
instrument’s serial number, or even the name and phone number of the person to
contact for a new calibration.
– You can record a calibration message only from the remote interface and only
when the instrument is unsecured. You can read the calibration message
whether the instrument is secured or unsecured.
– The calibration message may contain up to 40 characters. From the front
panel, you can view 18 characters of the message at a time.
– Storing a calibration message will overwrite any message previously stored in
memory.
– The calibration message is stored in non-volatile memory in the mainframe, a
digital module, or the internal DMM, and does not change when power has
been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST command), or after an Instrument Preset
(SYSTem:PRESet command).
Remote Interface Operation:
The following example shows how to store a
message in calibration memory on the module in slot 3.
