4-34. Setting the Internal Clock

An internal clock provides the date (corrected for leap years) and time to the 5790A CPU
(Central Processing Unit). Check the clock setting and set it if necessary.
A long-life lithium battery keeps the clock running during power-off
periods. If the battery in your 5790A should ever need replacement, refer to
the Service Manual. The battery is a button type that is soldered to the CPU
Assembly (A20). Any procedure that involves removing the cover is to be
performed only by qualified service personnel.
To set or change the time and date of the internal clock, proceed as follows:
1. If you want to set the date or both date and time, set the rear panel CALIBRATION
STORE switch to ENABLE. (See Figure 3-2 for the switch location.) The position of
