*K
- Change Calibration Keyword
TYPE Calibration
EXECUTION Immediate
SYNTAX *Kkey Change the calibration keyword, where key is the keyword in the form of a 5-
digit number nnnnn . Therefore the password can be no longer than 5
characters.
DESCRIPTION
Note: This command is only for advanced users who perform their own calibration. It is not necessary
for normal, everyday operation.
The Change Calibration Keyword ( *K ) command allows the changing of the calibration keyword which is a user-
defined password. This password is a safety feature to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering Calibration
Mode and potentially altering calibration constants. The new keyword must be a 5-digit decimal number. Once
the keyword is set, it will thereafter be used by the Enter Calibration Mode (
K ) command to determine entry into
Calibration Mode.
For more information on manual calibration, see chapter System Calibration.
Note: This command is only valid when the calibration protection is disabled via the rear DIP microswitch 9.

INPUT#2, C% ‘ Get the Calibration Status Register ( CSR )
IF (C% AND 16) THEN

SLEEP 5 ‘ If so, wait until keyword check jumper is disabled
PRINT#1, “OUTPUT07;*K67890X” ‘ Enter new Keyword = 67890
ENDIF
