Modified on Wed, 28 Oct at 10:40 AM

To configure Emulation mode of the 4600A, navigate to the main menu of the calibrator and configure the emulation mode. Alternatively, send the following commands


SYSTEM:COMMANDS:MODETRANSMILLE <- sets Transmille mode

SYSTEM:COMMANDS:MODE55XX <- sets 55xx compatibility mode

To set a custom IDN, while in Transmille command mode, send the following command

SYST:SETTINGS:USERIDN<USER IDN>


For example

SYST:SETTINGS:USERIDNEXAMPLE,1234,5678,9

Would set the *IDN? response to 

EXAMPLE,1234,5678,9
