This is the primary instrument setup menu. The list below describes submenus available
through each softkey and tells you where you can find further information in the manuals.
•
CAL (Calibration) Opens the calibration menu. You use softkeys in this menu to
view the calibration dates, print a calibration report, and perform calibration, and to
run the Zero calibration routine. Zero calibration is described later in this chapter.
•
SHOW SPECS (Show Specifications) Displays published Calibrator specifications
for the output value that is currently selected.
•
INSTMT SETUP (Instrument Setup) Lets you change the power-up or reset default
setting for various instrument parameters. Many of the same parameters in this menu
can be changed during operation, but the changes you make during operation are
volatile. Changing them here makes them nonvolatile. To restore factory defaults,
use the Format NV Memory menu under the UTILITY FUNCTNS menu.
•
UTILITY FUNCTNS (Utility Functions) Allows you to initiate self-tests, format
the nonvolatile memory (restore factory default settings), and review the instrument
configuration software versions and user report string. These features are explained
under "Utilities Function Menu" later in this chapter.
How to Use the Instrument Setup Menu
The softkeys in the instrument setup menu (accessed by pressing INSTMT SETUP
softkey in the Setup Menu) are shown below.
The list below describes submenus accessed by each softkey.
•
OTHER SETUP Opens a menu that lets you toggle the degree reference between
the 1968 International Provisional Temperature Standard (ipts-68) and the 1990
International Temperature Standard (its-90) (factory default). This is also where you
set the clock, and set the power-up and reset defaults for the SC-600 Oscilloscope
Calibration Options's Overload test safety timeout function (OVLD T), and
displayed error units. You may also configure the instrument for best operation with
a 50 Hz line frequency.
•
OUTPUT SETUP Opens a menu to change the power-up and reset defaults for
current and voltage output limits, default thermocouple and RTD types, set the phase
reference, internal or external phase reference source, impedance for dBm display,
and pressure units.
•
DISPLAY SETUP Opens submenus to set the brightness and contrast of both the
Control Display and Output Display.
•
REMOTE SETUP Allows you to change the configuration of the two RS-232
ports, SERIAL 1 FROM HOST and SERIAL 2 TO UUT, and IEEE-488 General
Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB). (See Chapter 5, "Remote Operation" for more
information.)
