CALibration DAC Errors: There is no calibration DAC output for the 64 volt and 256 volt ranges. See the CALibration:GAIN command for more information about the calibration of these two ranges. An error will occur if the voltage value specified is greater than that allowed for the present range setting. You must set the desired range prior to setting the calibration DAC voltage.

Executable when initiated: NO

Coupled Command: NO

Reset (*RST) Condition: 0.0 Volts

CALibration:DAC:VOLTage?

CALibration:DAC:VOLTage? MIN MAX queries the setting of the calibration DAC (E1564A 4-Channel Digitizer only). The DAC voltage is output to the calibration bus and accessible at the front panel External Trigger Input/Calibration Bus Output Connector (CAL-H and CAL-L) only if the CALibration:SOURce is set to INTernal. The MIN parameter returns the minimum voltage available from the DAC and MAX returns the maximum voltage available from the DAC.

CALibration:DATA?

CALibration:DATA? returns the calibration constants currently stored in non-volatile calibration memory.

CALibration:GAIN

CALibration:GAIN[<channel>] [<readings>DEF][,<rate>DEF][,ON1OFF0]

initiates a gain calibration on the channel specified. The ON parameter will cause the 64V and 256V ranges to be indirectly calibrated from the 16V range gain calibration. The ON/OFF parameter is ignored except for a gain calibration of the 16V range.
