Usage
Adjustdate = smuX.cal.adjustdate
smuX.cal.adjustdate = adjustdate
Set adjustdate to the following value:
os.time({year=yr, month=mo, day=da})
where:
yr 2005 to 2037
mo 1 to 12
da 1 to 31
Remarks • This attribute stores the adjustment date associated with the active calibration set. The
adjustment date can be read at any time, but can only be assigned a new value when
calibration has been enabled with the smuX.cal.unlock function.
• You cannot change the adjust date with first making a change to the calibration
constants.
• Once you change any calibration constants, you must set the adjust date before being
allowed to save the calibration data to NV memory.
• This attribute is stored with the active calibration set. If a different calibration set is
restored, this attribute will reflect the date stored with that set.
• Hour and minute can also be included in adjustdate as follows:
os.time({year=yr, month=mo, day=da, hour=hr, minute=mn})
Seconds can be included, but will essentially be ignored due to the precision of the
internal date storage format.
• The date is stored as the number of seconds since UTC 12:00 am Jan 1, 1970.
