7.8 CAL MODE
The calibration menu contains functions for setting probe and instrument cali-
bration parameters. If a probe parameter is changed, the probe parameteris up-
loaded into the INFO-CON probe connector when the CAL MODE is exited or
after scrolling through the entire menu. Alwayscheck to insure that the param-
eters havebeen written to the INFO-CON connector by disconnecting the
probe or by turningthe 1521 off and on.
The calibrationmenu is entered by pressing and holding the MODE button for
three seconds. “CALMODE” appears on the display. Press the ENT button to
advance.Press the MODE button while in the calibration men u to exitand to
advanceto the display mode that follows the display mode that was active be-

The functionscontained in the CAL Mode are listed below in the order they ap-
pear.In any of the functions the ENT button stores the displayed value or se-
lection and advances to the nextf unction. The CLR button can be used to
cancel changes toa value or selection and skip to the next function. Use the
ENT button to movefrom Mtr Due to Prb Due and then to Time. Use the CLR
buttonto quickly advance through the remaining functions. Many of the func-
tionsare in the passcode protected part of the CAL Mode. You must enter the
correct passcodeto reach them.
