CALSTR string[,security_code]
This is the alpha/numeric message that will be appended to the calibration RAM.
The string parameter must be enclosed in single or double quotes. The maximum
string length is 75 characters (the quotes enclosing the string are not counted as
characters).
When the calibration RAM is secured (SECURE command) you must include the
security_code in order to write a message to the calibration RAM. (You can always
read the string using the CALSTR? command regardless of the security mode).
Refer to the SECURE command for information on securing and unsecuring the
calibration RAM.
•
Query Command. The CALSTR? query command returns the character string
from the multimeter's calibration RAM. This is shown in the second example
below.

Compress Subprogram. Removes the ASCII text of a specified subprogram
previously stored in memory. This saves memory space but removes the
subprogram from continuous memory (the subprogram will be destroyed when
power is removed).
COMPRESS name
Subprogram name. A subprogram name may contain up to 10 characters. The
name can be alpha. alphanumeric, or an integer in the range of 0 to 127. Refer to
the SUB command for details.
Power-on name = none.
Default name = none; parameter required.
•
To avoid memory fragmentation, compress each subprogram before
downloading other subprograms.
•
You cannot store the COMPRESS command as part of a subprogram.
