Section 4: Adjustment
With calibration unlocked, the sense function and the source function and range are the same. For
example, when :SOURce:FUNCtion is set to VOLTage, the :SENSe:FUNCtion setting is
"VOLTage:DC". When :SOURce:FUNCtion is set to CURRent, the :SENSe:FUNCtion setting is
"CURR:DC". This also applies to the range settings (for example,
:SOURce:VOLTage:RANGe and :SENSe:VOLTage:RANGe;
SOURce:CURRent:RANGe and :SENSe:CURRent:RANGe).

Changing the password
You can change the default password from the front panel or using a remote interface.
To change the calibration password using SCPI commands, first send the present password, and
then send the new password.
For example, the following command sequence changes the password from the "KI002400" default
password to "KI_CAL":
CALibration:PASSword "KI002400"
CALibration:PASSword "KI_CAL"
You can use any combination of letters and numbers up to a maximum of eight characters.
