DRIFtMINimumSTATe | Agilent Technologies Agilent 86120C instruction

Programming Commands

CALCulate3 Subsystem

	DRIFt:MINimum[:STATe]
	Sets the drift calculation to return the minimum power and frequency
	values measured.
Syntax	:CALCulate3:DRIFt:MINimum[:STATe]{? {ON OFF 1 0}}
Attribute	Preset State: off
Summary	*RST State: off
	SCPI Compliance: instrument specific
Description	Use the CALC3:DRIF:PRES command to turn off all the drift states
	before turning on this state. The CALC3:DATA? query returns the min-
	imum power or frequency.


	Note
	Only one STATe command can be turned on at any one time. Attempting to turn
	more than one state on at a time results in a “–221 Settings Conflict” error. Refer
	to “Measure delta, drift, and signal-to-noise” on page 3-14 for additional informa-
	tion on selecting measurements.
