How about copying the contents of the old nvram to the new one?

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???

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 ...
Thanks
Dave
