Programming Commands

SENSe Subsystem

CORRection:ELEVation

Sets the elevation value used by the instrument to compensate for air dispersion.

Syntax

:SENSe:CORRection:ELEVation{? {<integer> MINimum MAXimum}}

 

<integer> is the altitude in meters.

 

Constant

Description

 

MINimum

0 m

 

MAXimum

5000 m

Attribute

Non- sequential command

Summary

Preset State: unaffected by

 

*RST sets this value to the minimum.

 

SCPI Compliance: instrument specific

0Description

Changing the elevation value causes the current data to be repro-

 

cessed.

 

Query Response

The query form returns the current elevation setting as shown in the

 

following example:

 

+1500

 

Non-sequential command

Always use an *OPC? query or a *WAI command to ensure that this command has the time to complete before sending any more commands to the instrument. Refer to “Always force the Agilent 86120C to wait for non-sequential commands” on page 3-12for more information.
