Calibration commands
:DATE?
(:CALibration:PROTected:CARD1:DATE?)
(:CALibration:PROTected:CARD2:DATE?)
Purpose
To request the Model 7706 calibration date.
Format
:CAL:PROT:CARD1:DATE?
:CAL:PROT:CARD2:DATE?
Response
<year>, <month>, <day>
Description
The :CARD1:DATE? and :CARD2:DATE? queries allow you to read back the calibration
date from a Model 7706 in Slot 1 and Slot 2 respectively.
NOTE
The card calibration date is automatically set to the Model 2700 real time clock date when the card is
calibrated.
Example
:CAL:PROT:CARD1:DATE?
Request card 1 cal date.
:INIT
(:CALibration:PROTected:CARD1:INITiate)
Purpose
To initiate Model 7706 calibration procedures.
Format
:CAL:PROT:CARD1:INIT
Parameter
None
Description
The :INIT command enables Model 7706 calibration when performing these procedures
over the bus. This command must be sent to the unit after sending the :CODE command,
but before performing Model 7706 calibration.
Example
:CAL:PROT:CARD1:INIT
Initiate 7706 calibration.
:LOCK
(:CALibration:PROTected:CARD1:LOCK)
Purpose
To lock out Model 7706 calibration.
Format
:CAL:PROT:CARD1:LOCK
Parameter
None
Description
The :LOCK command allows you to lock out Model 7706 calibration after completing the
procedure. Thus, :LOCK performs the opposite of enabling calibration with the :CODE
command.
Example
:CAL:PROT:CARD1:LOCK
Lock out card 1 calibration.
