Calibration message
You can use the CALibration:STRing command to store a message of up to 40 characters in calibration
memory. For example, you could store the last calibration date, the calibration due date, or contact
information for the person responsible for calibration. The calibration message is not affected by a
power cycle or *RST.
You can only store the calibration message when the instrument is unsecured, but you can execute the
CALibration:STRing? query regardless of whether the instrument is secured. A new calibration message
overwrites the previous message, and messages over 40 characters are truncated.
Saving calibration data
You must always save new calibration data before cycling instrument power or leaving the calibration
state with the Auto Save feature off. To save calibration data, send CAL:SAVE or save the calibration data
from the front panel.
Calibration auto save
The instrument includes a calibration Auto Save feature. This feature automatically saves the calibration
data to non-volatile memory and increments the calibration count when you exit the calibration state.
To enable or disable the CAL auto Save feature, send CAL:ASAV ON or CAL:ASAV OFF. To query the CAL
auto Save state, send CAL:ASAV?
