CALibration

CALibration

The CALibration command subsystem allows you to enter a security code to prevent accidental or unauthorized calibrations of the function generator. The function generator is secured when you receive it (see the factory- shipped security code in the CALibration:SECure:CODE command). You must unsecure the function generator by entering the correct security code before you can calibrate it (see CALibration:SECure:STATe OFFON command).

CALibration?

CALibration? performs a calibration using the specified calibration value set by the

CALibration:VALue command.

Comments Execution of this command begins the electronic adjustment for the function and range the function generator is set to. The adjustment is performed based on the value stated in the CAL:VAL command and the function generator expects that value at the input terminals.

Returns "+0" to indicate there are no calibration errors and calibration was performed. A "1" is returned if a calibration error occurs and a calibration is unable to be performed.

An error message is reported to the output buffer if a calibration is unable to be performed.

You must set CALibration:SECure:STATe OFF <code> to allow a calibration to be performed. This requires that you know the calibration secure code. The secure state enabled prevents unauthorized calibration of the function generator.

:COUNt?

CALibration:COUNt? queries the function generator to determine the number of times a point calibration has occurred. A complete calibration of the function generator increases the count by the number of points calibrated. It is not a record of complete calibrations. The count is stored in non-volatile memory.
