Serial - HP 54501A Programming Reference Manual

SERlal
SERial (Serial Number)
command
The SERIAL
command allows you to enter
a
serial number in the
instrument.
The instrument serial number is
entered
at the factory,
therefore
this will normally not be required.
The
serial
number
is placed in protected non-volatile ram,
so
the
protection
switch must be in the
unprotected position to
write
a
new serial
number to
the instrument.
This serial number is
part of the
string returned for the
*IDN?
query.
Note
A serial number corresponding to the serial number of
the board
in the
HP 54501A
is
loaded
at the factory.
Do
not use
this
command
unless you need to serialize the
instrument
for
a
different application.
