/* Performing Internal Self-alignment

*/

/*

*/

/* This example is for the E44xxB ESA Spectrum Analyzers

*/

/* and E740xA EMC Analyzers.

*/

/*

*/

/* This example shows two ways of executing an internal

*/

/* self-alignment. The first demonstrates using the *OPC?

*/

/* query to determine when the alignment has completed. The */

/* second demonstrates using the query form of the CAL:ALL

*/

/* command to not only determine when the alignment has

*/

/* been completed, but the pass/fail status of the align-

*/

/* ment process.

*/

/*

 

*/

/* This C programming example does the following.

*/

/* The SCPI instrument commands used are given as

*/

/* reference.

*/

/*

 

*/

/* - Opens a GPIB session at address 18

*/

/* - Clears the Analyzer

*/

/*

*CLS

*/

/* - Resets the Analyzer

*/

/*

*RST

*/

/* - VISA function sets the time out to infinite

*/

/* - Initiate self-alignment

*/

/*

CAL:ALL

*/

/* - Query for operation complete

*/

/*

*OPC?

*/

/* - Query for results of self-alignment

*/

/*

CAL:ALL?

*/

/* - Report the results of the self-alignment

*/

/* - Close the session
