Applies To: 1523 and 1524
Problem Description: The manual does not give the command to change the readout’s calibration date.
Resolution/Work Around: The commands to read and to write the calibration date are:
CAL:DEV:DATE? (will read the current calibration date)
SYST:PASS:CEN:STAT? (return present state of the password. 0=disabled and 1=enabled)
SYST:PASS:CEN XXXX (where XXXX is the current UUT password, default 1234) (Enables password)
SYST:PASS:CEN:STAT? (see current password state, should be 1)
CAL:DEV:DATE? (reads current calibration date. Year,month,day)
CAL:DEV:DATE YYYY,MM,DD (sets the calibration date. Year,Month,Day)
CAL:DEV:DATE? (should read new calibration date. Year,month,day)
SYST:PASS:CDIS (disables password)
SYST:PASS:CEN:STAT? (see current password state, should be 0)
