Calibration Errors

703

Invalid secure code

 

An invalid calibration security code was received when attempting to

 

unsecure or secure the multimeter. You must use the same security code

 

to unsecure the multimeter as was used to secure it, and vice versa. The

 

security code may contain up to 12 alphanumeric characters. The first

 

character must be a letter.

704

Secure code too long

 

 

A security code was received which contained more than 12 characters.

 

705

Cal aborted

 

 

A calibration in progress is aborted when you press any front-panel key,

 

 

send a device clear, or change the local/remote state of the multimeter.

 

706

Cal value out of range

 

 

The specified calibration value (CALibration:VALue) is invalid for the

 

 

present function and range.

 

707

Cal signal measurement out of range

 

 

The specified calibration value (CALibration:VALue) does not match

 

 

the signal applied to the multimeter.

 

 

 

708

Cal signal frequency out of range

 

 

The input signal frequency for an ac calibration does not match the

5

 

required input frequency for calibration.

 

 

709

No cal for this function or range

 

 

 

You cannot perform calibrations for ac current, period, continuity, diode,

 

 

ratio, or on the 100 Mrange.

 

710

Full scale correction out of range

 

720

Cal DCV offset out of range

 

721

Cal DCI offset out of range

 

722

Cal RES offset out of range

 

723

Cal FRES offset out of range

 

724

Extended resistance self cal failed
