Description
The Calibration Count query returns the number of times the VM3608A/3616A has been
calibrated. The instrument will increment the count every time the non-volatile memory
storing the calibration constants is updated. If the calibration security is disabled
(CALibration:SECure:STATe OFF is set) and CALibration:STORe:AUTO ON is set, the
count will increment with each execution of the CALibration:GAIN or
CALibration:ZERO command. If the CALibration:STORe:AUTO OFF is set, the count
will only be incremented by invoking the CALibration:STORe command. The non-
volatile memory has a guaranteed minimum of 10,000 cycles.
