CALibrate:STATe
This command enables and disables calibration mode. The calibration mode must be enabled before the
will accept any other calibration commands.
The first parameter specifies the enabled or disabled state. The second parameter is the password. It is
required if the calibration mode is being enabled and the existing password is not 0. If the password is not
entered or is incorrect, an error is generated and the calibration mode remains disabled. The query
statement returns only the state, not the password.
NOTE:
Whenever the calibration state is changed from enabled to disabled, any new calibration
constants are lost unless they have been stored with CALibrate:SAVE.
