Remote interface operation
Calibration message
You can use the calibration message feature to record
calibration information about your power supply. For
example, you can store such information as the last
calibration date, the next calibration due date, the power
supply’s serial number, or even the name and phone number
of the person to contact for a new calibration.
You can record and read information in the calibration
message from the remote interface only.
• The power supply should be unsecured before sending a
calibration message.
• The calibration message may contain up to 40 characters.
• The calibration message is stored in non- volatile memory,
and does not change when power has been off or after a
remote interface reset.
Remote interface operation
To store the calibration message, send the following
command.
CAL:STR ‘CAL 12-05-99’
CAL:COUN? Query the number of times of calibration
CAL:STR <quoted string> Store the cal message.
