Chapter 4 Command Reference

:CALCulate2 Subsystem

:CALCulate2:IMMediate:AUTO <Boolean>

Query Response

Comments

Sets or queries whether post-processing (recalculation) will automatically occur whenever any changes are made to the :CALCulate[12] subsystems.

With :CALC2:IMM:AUTO set to OFF, CALCulate[12] only produces new results when new SENSe data is acquired or when the CALCulate2:IMMediate command is received.

Once :CALC2:IMM:AUTO is set to ON, the CALCulate[12] subsystems produce new results when any CALCulate[12] command is processed, even when new SENSe data is not being acquired.

This allows the user to make configuration changes in the CALCulate[12] subsystems and immediately have new CALCulate[12] results on the same SENSe data.

∙Single ASCII-encoded byte, 0 or 1.

∙A value of 0 indicates OFF; a value of 1 indicates ON.

∙*RST: OFF

∙This command affects all of the post-processing subsystems settings (:CALC[1]:IMM:AUTO).

∙Note that the Counter powers up with :CALC2:IMM:AUTO set to ON, but *RST sets it to OFF.

∙The only limit result that can be truly post-processed is :CALC2:LIM:FAIL?. The limit counts (:CALC2:LIM:FCO and :CALC2:LIM:PCO) reflect measurements that were limit-tested at

time of data acquisition.

:CALCulate2:LIMit Subtree

This subtree collects together the commands associated with controlling and getting reports from a single LIMit test. The limit test is defined as both an upper and lower limit test.

If the measurement cycle is aborted or terminates abnormally, the limit test status will be unaffected. That is, an aborted or abnormally terminated measurement does not get limit tested and has no effect on the limit test results.
