Models 2510 and 2510-AT
Calibration
2-7
Resetting the calibration password
If you lose the calibration password, you can unlock calibration by shorting together the
CAL pads, which are located on the display board. Doing so will reset the password to the fac-
tory default (002510, front panel; KI002510, remote).
See Section 5 for details on disassembling the unit to access the CAL pads. Refer to the dis-
play board component layout drawing at the end of Section 6 for the location of the CAL pads.
Viewing calibration dates and calibration count
When calibration is locked, only the UNLOCK and VIEW-DATES selections will be acces-
sible in the calibration menu. To view calibration dates and calibration count at any time:
1.
From normal display, press MENU, select CAL, then press ENTER. The unit will dis-
play the following:

2.
Select VIEW-DATES, and then press ENTER. The Model 2510 will display the next
and last calibration dates and the calibration count as in the following example:
NEXT CAL: 02/15/2001
Last calibration: 02/15/2000 Count: 0001
Calibration errors
The Model 2510 checks for errors after each calibration step, minimizing the possibility that
improper calibration may occur due to operator error.
Front panel error reporting
If an error is detected during comprehensive calibration, the instrument will display an
appropriate error message (see Appendix B). The unit will then prompt you to repeat the cali-
bration step that caused the error.
Remote error reporting
You can detect errors while in remote by testing the state of EAV (Error Available) bit (bit 2)
in the status byte. (Use the *STB? query to request the status byte.) Query the instrument for
the type of error by using the :SYST:ERR? query. The Model 2510 will respond with the error
number and a text message describing the nature of the error. See Appendix B for details.
