To Secure the Instrument for Calibration

You can secure the instrument either from the front panel or over the remote interface. The instrument is secured when shipped from the factory.

Once you enter a security code, that code must be used for both front- panel and remote operation. For example, if you secure the instrument from the front panel, you must use that same code to secure it from the remote interface.

Front Panel Operation: Utility > CALIBRATE > SECURE

Remote Interface Operation: To secure the instrument, send the following command (the factory security code is shown).

CAL:SECURE:STATE ON,AT34980

To Change the Security Code

To change the security code, you must first unsecure the instrument, and then enter a new code. Make sure you have read the security code rules described on page 70 before attempting to change the security code.

Front Panel Operation: Utility > CALIBRATE > SET CAL CODE

To change the security code, unsecure the instrument using the old security code. Then go back into the menu and change the code. Changing the code from the front panel also changes the security code as seen from the remote interface.

Remote Interface Operation: instrument using the old shown below.

To change the security code, unsecure the security code. Then enter the new code as

CAL:SECURE:STATE OFF,AT34980	Unsecure with old code
CAL:SECURE:CODE SN123456789	Enter new code
