Align the IF Flatness

:CALibration:FLATness:IF

:CALibration:FLATness:IF?

Finds the flatness shape of the current IF setup (prefilter, mgain, natBW). This information is then used for compensating measurements that use FFT functionality, like the spectrum measurement. The alignment is done frequently in the background. This same alignment is run as part of the CAL:ALL routine.

The query performs the alignment and returns a zero if the alignment is successful.
