Through the setup menu you have access to various operations and changeable
parameters. Once you set a parameter, it is saved in memory until it is changed, including
during power-off periods.
When you press the "Setup" softkey on the Control Display from the power-up state, the

MENU
Cal: Opens the calibration menu. Softkeys in this menu activate calibration to
external standards, calibration check, and dc zeros calibration. Another softkey
displays calibration date information and another opens a calibration report menu.
This chapter describes dc zeros calibration. Chapter 7 shows this menu and describes
all other calibration procedures.
Self Test & Diags: Opens the self testing and diagnostics menu. This menu contains a
softkey to run self tests similar to the power-up self tests and softkeys that access
separate menus to diagnose and troubleshoot the calibrator and an attached 5725A
Amplifier. Chapter 5 of the 5700A/5720A Series II Service Manual provides
instructions for using these softkeys.
Instmt Setup: Opens the instrument setup menu. This menu contains softkeys to open
sub menus that let you change the calibration interval, set up the remote port, set the
clock/calendar, and identify the amplifier model for current and voltage
amplification. Another menu lets you format the EEPROM (Electrically Eraseable
Programmable Read Only Memory), which is nonvolatile memory. This is only
necessary when you want to replace some or all of the information in memory with
default values. The next part of this chapter describes the instrument setup menu and
its sub-menus.
Instmt Config: Opens a menu that contains two softkeys: one that displays a list of
installed hardware modules and software revision letters, and another that displays
the contents of the user report string. This chapter describes how to use these
softkeys.
Special Functns: Opens the special functions menu. This menu contains two softkeys:
one that allows turning off ac internal transfers, and one to select the date format.
This menu is described later in this chapter.
