:SECure:STATe
CALibration:SECure:STATe OFF|ON, <code> unsecures or secures the
multimeter for calibration. The calibration code must be the code set by the
CAL:SEC:CODE command. The state is stored in non-volatile memory.
Parameters
Comments • You can substitute decimal values for the OFF (“0”) and ON (“1”) parameters.
• The multimeter calibration is secured when shipped from the factory. The
security code is set to “
HP_E1412” (or “HP_E1312” for B-size).
• *RST does not change the state.
Example Set the Calibration State to Unsecured
CAL:SEC:STAT OFF, HP_E1412

calibration message can contain up to 40 characters. Characters in excess of 40 are
truncated and no error is generated. The string is stored in non-volatile memory.
Parameters
Comments • The calibration message can contain up to 40 characters.
• Calibration security state must be OFF to store a string.
• The calibration message is stored in non-volatile memory and does not change
when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
