CALibrate:DATA

This command enters a calibration value that you obtain by reading an external meter. You must first

select a calibration level (with CALibrate:LEVel) for the value being entered.

Command Syntax CALibrate:DATA<NRf>

Parameters <external reading>

Unit

A

(amperes)

Examples CAL:DATA 3222.3 MA CAL:DATA 5.000

Related Commands CAL: STAT CAL:LEV

CALibrate:DATE

Use this command to store the date that the unit was last calibrated. You can enter any ASCII string up to

10 characters.

Command Syntax CALibrate:DATE <date>

Parameters <date>

Examples CAL:DATE "3/22/99" CAL:DATE "22.3.99"

Query Syntax CALibrate:DATE?

Returned Parameters <SRD>

CALibrate:DVM

Agilent 66311D/66309D only

This command initiates the calibration of the DVM.

Command Syntax CALibrate:DVM

Parameters None

Examples CAL:DVM

CALibrate:LEVel

This command selects the next point in the calibration sequence. P1 is the first calibration point,

P2 is the second calibration point.

Command Syntax CALibrate:LEVel <point>

Parameters P1 | P2

Examples CAL:LEV P2

CALibrate:PASSword

This command lets you change the calibration password. A new password is automatically stored in

nonvolatile memory and does not have to be stored with CALibrate:SAVE. If the password is set to 0,

password protection is removed and the ability to enter the calibration mode is unrestricted.

Command Syntax CALibrate:PASScode<NRf>

Parameters <model number> (default)

Examples CAL:PASS 6812

Related Commands CAL: SAV
