Parameters

Comments

CALibration:DAC:VOLTage <voltage> MIN MAX is only active if the CALibration:SOURce is set to INTernal. The voltage specified is output by the internal DAC to the calibration bus (E1564A 4-Channel Digitizer ONLY). You can measure this voltage on the top two pins of the External Trigger Input/Calibration Bus Output Connector (CAL-H and CAL-L). This voltage is used for calibrating the digitizer’s gain as the CAL:VALue.
