Much depends on how the equipment was designed.? For a scope, you
could need a controlled square or sine wave source, various
amplitudes and various frequencies.? Often it needs to have a
particular command set and a controller (computer) to automate the
tests.? Often, the tests are not specified, simply programmed.?
The code source is not always documented.? All of this is true if
and when the code is even available.
It can get nasty.
It also, as you note, depends on which set of constants you need
to regenerate.?
Not all calibration procedures are documented to the extent you
can perform them, even if you had the equipment.

I read everywhere that loosing the CAL data when the battery
dies is like planning a ride through hell but nobody actually
demonstrated what is involved when such thing happens.?
while troubleshooting my S.A, I did a DEFAULT CAL recall and it
recalibrated itself fine after.
I even read the manual and it explains in details what to do
and srite down measurements compensation. I did not read however
how those manual readings are then set into the instrument¡¯s
memory. ??
Does someone knows why is everyone afraid so much about the
battery and the involved procedure?
