Syntax
SCAL value [,security_code]
Specifies the value of the adjustment source that will be used to do the
value
service adjustment of the multimeter. Valid choices for value are 1E5, 10,1,
and 0.1. 1E5 performs a frequency calibration while 10, 1, and 0.1 do ac
range adjustment.
security_code
SECURE command, you must enter the correct security code to perform an
SCAL. If SCAL is not secured (security code = 0), no security code is
required to execute SCAL. Refer to the SECURE command for more
