To Read the Calibration Information
You can access the instrument’s calibration memory to read the
calibration count and calibration message.
Calibration Count You can query the instrument to determine how
many calibrations have been performed. Note that your instrument was
calibrated before it left the factory. When you receive your instrument,
read the count to determine its initial value. The count value increments
by one for each calibration point, and a complete calibration may
increase the value by many counts.
Calibration Message The instrument allows you to store one message
in calibration memory. For example, you can store the date when the last
calibration was performed, the date when the next calibration is due, the
instrument’s serial number, or even the name and phone number of the
person to contact for a new calibration.
1 Select the Cal Info interface.
Press and then select the
Cal Info
softkey from the “Test/Cal” menu.
The first line in the display shows the calibration count.
The second line shows the calibration message.
The last line indicates the current version of the firmware.
The calibration information will time-out and disappear after a few seconds.
Select the
Cal Info
softkey to show the information again.
2 Exit the menu.
Press the
DONE
softkey.
You can record a calibration message only from the remote interface
and only when the instrument is unsecured.
You can read the message from either the front-panel or over the remote
interface. You can read the calibration message whether the instrument
is secured or unsecured.
