Password Protection
You can password-protect all functions located in the Admin menu. These include instrument
calibration, interface access, non-volatile memory reset, firmware update, and password updates.
As shipped from the factory, the Admin menu password is 0 (zero). This means that you do not have to
enter a password to access the Admin menu. Simply select System\Admin\Login and press Enter. To
password-protect the Admin menu:
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select System\Admin\Password
Enter the password. The password must be numeric,
and up to 15 digits long. Then press Select.
Log out of the Admin menu to activate the password.
You can now only enter the Admin menu by providing
the right password. Enter the password in the Password
field.
Enter calibration mode using the original password:
CAL:STAT ON, <password>
To change the password:
CAL:PASS <password>
To exit calibration mode and activate the password:
CAL:STAT OFF
If the password is lost, access can be restored by setting an internal switch to reset the password to 0.
If the message "Locked out by internal switch setting" or "Calibration is inhibited by switch setting"
appears, the internal switch is set to prevent the password from being changed. Refer to Calibration
Switches for more information.
