I have a key, so if the locksmith can't make one to match the lock, I can get 
one cut.  I am in UK.

Hi Joe,

I am in the UK near Guildford. But give me time to get to the locksmith at the 
weekend first. 
And I am going to try just unplugging the cal key too.

Regards,

M K

You need to issue OUT,RS232,ON first, otherwise you won't see it the output

Hi Charlie,

partial success, calibrate,refresh worked, the display told me so, but the 
calibrate,dump command did not do anything visible.

 MK,
 
 All you need to do is unplug the jones plug where the key wiring goes 
 to the circuit board. No need to do any wiring!

  Where are you?  If you can't get a key made, I can probably send you one.
 
  IIRC, you can 'activate' the key by removing a wire from the key switch.
  That places it in 'CAL' mode.  The schematic easily demonstrates 
  this.  I don't think it was 'shorting' the two switch wires.  Of 
  course that requires you to remove the top of the meter.

  I just noticed a gotcha, I need to set the key to calibrate before I 
  may issue those commands, I guess I need a key. I have printed off 
  the photo and measurements someone on this board did, now to get to a key 
  shop...

  If all you want is to save the calibration factors, just issue 
  CALIBRATE,DUMP command
 
  To refresh the EAROM calibration factors, issue CALIBRATE,REFRESH -
  barring component failure that should be good for another ten years or so.
  You can also display the NVM contents with the MONITOR command, but 
  NOT re-write them.
  The only way that I am aware of that will write the caibration 
  constants
  if they have been lost is to run a full calibration.
  Again all this in chapter 8.
 
  I don't know which ROM programmers that can read or write the 
  ER3400 (just
  ignorance - there may be loads).

  Hi David,
 
  well it is currently working and close to calibrated as far as I can tell.
  But I want to get those calibration factors saved before it dies on 
  me. Last calibrated 2008, and well down on drift by now.
  I get a diurnal 0.14 microvolt drift with a shorting plug that 
  stays on
  when not in use. a drift of about 0.1 microvolts in about 3 weeks. 
  Nothing else to confirm anything else as I have only just got it 
  chatting out through the rs232.
  I will have to buy something to read them with.
