K - Enter Calibration Mode

TYPE

Calibration

EXECUTION

Immediate

SYNTAX

Kkey

Enter Calibration Mode if the keyword (or password) is correct, where key is

the keyword in the form of a 5-digit number nnnnn. Therefore the

password can be no longer than 5 characters.

K?

Query Kkey as defined above.

DESCRIPTION

Note: Calibration should only be performed by a qualified metrology lab. If necessary contact the f actory for

assistance.

The Enter Calibration Mode (K) command places the unit into Calibration Mode. While in Calibration Mode the

unit may be calibrated using any of the defined calibration commands. In addition, all other c ommands are valid

during Calibration Mode. However, if the unit is not in Calibration Mode, none of the defined calibration

commands are valid, and an error condition will be generated if any of these commands are issued.

The K command requires a pre-defined keyword as a parameter. This keyword must match the existing keyword

definition in order to enter Calibration Mode. If the keyword is not correct, Calibration Mode will not be entered

and no calibration commands will be processed.

Note: If the keyword becomes lost or forgotten a new keyword can be issued with the *K command.

Note: Refer to Chapter 6 for detailed calibration instruction.

EXAMPLE

PRINT#1, “OUTPUT07;K12345X”

‘ Enter Calibration Mode with the keyword 12345

PRINT#1, “OUTPUT07;U2X”

‘ Check for keyword error

PRINT #1, “ENTER07"

INPUT#2, C%

‘ Get the Calibration Status Register

IF (C% AND 16) THEN

‘ Is there a keyword error?

PRINT,"ERROR-INVALID KEYWORD”

HALT

‘ If so, stop execution

ENDIF

‘ Connect short across applicable channel

PRINT#1, “OUTPUT10;H17X”

‘ Calculate offset for card #2

‘ Wait for command to complete

‘ Wait until trigger LED stops flashing

‘ Apply (-) precision voltage

PRINT#1, “OUTPUT10;G17,1X”

‘ Calculate (-) gain for card #2

‘ Wait for command to complete

‘ Apply (+) precision voltage

PRINT#1, “OUTPUT10;G17,1X”

‘ Calculate (+) gain for card #2

‘ Wait for command to complete

‘ Remove precision voltage

PRINT# 1, “EX”

‘ End Calibration Mode
