Setting The Internal Clock/Calendar - Fluke 5700A Series II Operator's Manual

4-11. Setting the Internal Clock/Calendar

An internal clock/calendar provides the date (corrected for leap years) and time to the
calibrator's CPU (Central Processing Unit). The clock setting should be checked and set
if necessary.
A long-life lithium battery keeps the clock/calendar running during power-
off periods. If the battery in your calibrator should ever need replacement,
refer to the Service Manual. The battery is a button-type, soldered to the
CPU Assembly (A20). Any procedure that involves removing the cover is
for service personnel only.
To set or change the time and date of the internal clock/calendar, proceed as follows:
1. If you want to set the date or both date and time, set the rear panel CALIBRATION
switch to ENABLE (see Figure 3-2). The setting of the CALIBRATION switch does
not matter for setting time only.
2. Press the following sequence of softkeys:
Setup Menus → Instmt Setup → Set Intrnl Clock
(If the Setup Menu is not displayed, press r first).
The display changes to:
PREV
MENU
3. To change the date, press the "Change Date" softkey. (To leave the date setting as is
and change the time instead, skip to step 5.) The display changes to:
PREV
MENU
4. Enter the date as six digits using the numeric keypad. The date format selected in the
Special Functns menu determines the order in which you enter the digits (mmddyy,
ddmmyy, or yymmdd). For example, in the format mmddyy, September 5, 1996 is
entered as 090596.
