Calibration Count
The calibration count feature provides an independent “serialization” of
your calibrations. You can determine the number of times that your
function generator has been calibrated. By monitoring the calibration
count, you can determine whether an unauthorized calibration has been
performed. Since the value increments by one for each calibration, a
complete calibration increases the value by approximately 85 counts.
The calibration count is stored in non-volatile memory and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
Your function generator was calibrated before it left the factory.
When you receive your function generator, read the calibration count
to determine its value.
The calibration count increments up to a maximum of 32,767 after which
it wraps around to 0. There is no way provided to program or reset the
calibration count. It is an independent electronic calibration
“serialization” value.
Calibration Message
You can use the calibration message feature to record calibration
information about your function generator. For example, you can store
such information as the last calibration date, the next calibration due
date, the function generator’s serial number, or even the name and phone
number of the person to contact for a new calibration.
You can record information in the calibration message only from the
remote interface. You can read the message from either the front-panel
menu or the remote interface.
The calibration message may contain up to 40 characters. The function
generator can display up to 11 characters of the message on the front
panel; any additional characters are truncated.
The calibration message is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
