Update - when I tried this I was using a brand new DS1220AD-100IND (blank) to replace the DS1220Y.
Reinstalling the DS1220Y and it worked as expected! Processor must detect cal mode by writing to NVRAM - if succeeds, then in Cal mode??? Maybe Is there some obscure incompatability between the DS1220AD and the DS1220Y??? Dave -----Original Message----- From: volt-nuts [mailto:volt-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On Behalf Of David C. Partridge Sent: 02 November 2017 18:23 To: 'Discussion of precise voltage measurement' Subject: [volt-nuts] Prema 6048 Cal switch confusion I've got a Perma 6048 that I've trying to put into Cal mode. It just won't! The switch on the rear panel works OK, AFAICT when in the Cal position it connects ~WE on the DS1220 (pin 21) and ~W on the $864 SRAM (pin 27) to a 4K7 pullup to +5V and to the output of an LS00 which should be strobing the Write lines low as needed. I can't see any way in which the processor can be informed of the switch setting! In measure mode it just connects ~WE on the DS1220 to a 10k pullup to +5V. The schematic is on page 120 (Figure 11.4) of the user manual and also page 9-7 of the service manual. Clearly I'm missing something - as a friend reports that his does go into cal mode. Confused ...
