CALibration:SECure:STATe
Purpose Enables or disables calibration security.
Type Setting
Command Syntax CALibration:SECure:STATe <boolean>,<code>
Command Parameters <boolean> = 0 | 1 | OFF | ON
<code>
= Security code in IEEE 488.2 definite length arbitrary block format.
*RST Value 1 or ON
Query Syntax CALibration:SECure:STATe?
Query Parameters None
Query Response <mode> = 1 | 0
Description The Calibration Security State command enables or disables the calibration security.
When the security state is ON or 1, the calibration constants may not changed or stored to
the non-volatile memory. To change and/or store new calibration constants to the non-
volatile memory, the Security State must be OFF or 0. In order to disable the Security
State, the security code must be supplied and must be in IEEE-488.2 definite length
arbitrary block format. The code parameter must be present to disable the security or it
generates error –109, “Missing parameter”. The value must match the currently
programmed security code or it generates error –224, “Illegal parameter value”. To
enable security, the code parameter is not required, but if it is provided, it will be
checked. If the code is given but does not match the current security code, error –224,
“Illegal parameter value” will be generated. The query returns the current mode.
Examples Command / Query Response (Description)
CAL:SEC:STAT OFF,#15OLIVE
(The above says to turn the security state off
so that the calibration constant can be stored
in non-volatile. The password is assumed to be
OLIVE. Note the password is case sensitive.)
CAL:SEC:STAT?
0 ( The above says that the security state is
presently off.)
CAL:SEC:STAT ON
(The above says to turn the security state on so
that calibration constants cannot be stored in
non-volatile
.)
CAL:SEC:STAT?
ON (The above says that the security state is
presently on.)
