Chapter 4 Command Reference

:DIAGnostic Subsystem

:DIAGnostic Subsystem

This subsystem controls the remote calibration of the Counter.

All of the calibration values, with the exception of the interpolator values, are stored in non-volatile memory and are unaffected by

power-on, save/recall, and *RST.

Any of the commands which perform a calibration, with the exception of the interpolator calibration, will generate error -221 if the user tries to execute a calibration while the Counter is secured. (Note, this will not occur in early revisions of the Counter because calibration security does not exist.) Please refer to the :CALibration:SECurity subtree for command specifics regarding calibration security.
