:SECure:STATe

CALibration:SECure:STATe OFFON, <code> unsecures or secures the multimeter for calibration. The calibration code must be the code set by the CAL:SEC:CODE command. The state is stored in non-volatile memory.

Parameters

		Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Range of Values	Default Units
		OFFON	boolean	OFF 0 ON 1	none
		<code>	discrete	up to 12 characters	none
				set by CAL:SEC:CODE
Comments	• You can substitute decimal values for the OFF (“ 0”) and ON (“ 1”) parameters.

•The multimeter calibration is secured when shipped from the factory. The security code is set to “ HP_E1412” (or “ HP_E1312” for B-size).

•*RST does not change the state.

Example Set the Calibration State to Unsecured

CAL:SEC:STAT OFF, HP_E1412 Unsecure multimeter calibration.

:SECure:STATe?

CALibration:SECure:STATe? returns a “ 1” or “ 0” to show whether the calibration security state is enabled (1) or disabled (0). The number is sent to the output buffer.

Example Query the Calibration Security State

CAL:SEC:STAT?	Query multimeter calibration security state.
enter statement	Enter value into computer.

:STRing

CALibration:STRing <quoted string> allows you to record calibration information about your multimeter while CAL:SEC:STAT is OFF. For example, you can store information such as the last calibration date and/or the next calibration due date. The calibration message can contain up to 40 characters. Characters in excess of 40 are truncated and no error is generated. The string is stored in non-volatile memory.

Parameters
