hi
noob question,  is it the mainboard eeprom or the cpu eeprom

This is U505 EEPROM IC.

Now I'm wondering if it's possible to make a DIAG:POKE command to activate those menus..

I found some info about DIAG:POKE.

Word 0x08 (byte 0x10 in the endianness I'm using) is the one to tweak, along with the checksum of course.

I went to bed with the feeling that you would solve it very soon.  Great job! :clap: :clap:

I think so. Just a matter of processing all the knowledge gained in these last hours.

I think the cal string packing is an indicator of how all the binary structures are packed. The cal string is basically a concatenation of 7-bit chars (instead of the usual 8-bit). So, I've a feeling that all other structures are also tightly packed and don't obey to the usual byte boundaries.

dimmog, sadly I don't think the PEEK and POKE commands work like that on the 34401A, at least the ones which modify the eeprom. Though it might help to look at the post I linked earlier for some more examples.

Would be very useful to be able to turn the bits on via SCPI though, so not gonna discourage more testing!
