Hello Paul,

both errors are not doumented in the service /repair manual.

It seems to be very clear, that those three DALLAS non volatile RAMs are defective (battery low) and have to be replaced only (~ 30$), plus calibration.


You might run the elaborate test, perhaps some additional errors show up.
In the movie, it sounds, as if there are one or two more errors during measurement, not only the #110 (ACAL REQUIRED).
Try to recall them.

Afterwards run an ACAL ALL, and if this does not clear the faults, an CAL with 10V / 10kOhm, as precise as possible. Before that, write down the calibration constants 1,2 (CAL? 1), or make a complete dump of the RAMs content.
But I suppose, that the calibration is lost anyhow.

If that clears all errors, and the instrument takes meaningful readings (until its switched off), then the probability is high, that the NVRAMs are the only problem.

I would also not send this prototype back to agilent for repair, as its totally unusual, that such devices show up outside the manufacturing company. Agilent might refuse to repair the unit in best case, or even worse.

Therefore, the value of this instrument depends on your detailed failure analysis.
I assume that you may still earn several k$.
