Chapter 4 Command Reference

Introduction

:DIAGnostic:CALibration:TINTerval:FINE[1234]

These event commands, when performed in the appropriate order and with the appropriate calibration signals supplied to both channels, calibrate out the differences in electrical path length between Channel 1 and Channel 2.

	Before sending any of these commands, the appropriate calibration signal must be
	supplied to both channels. Please see the section titled “To Initiate the Calibration
	Routine” in Chapter 2 of the Operating Guide for details involved in providing the
	calibration signals. The Operating Guide also discusses the difference between this
	calibration and the alternate (simpler) choice, :DIAG:CAL:TINT:QUICk.
	The command :DIAG:CAL:TINT:FINE1 invokes the first step of the calibration,
	:DIAG:CAL:TINT:FINE2 invokes the second, and so on. Each step corresponds
	to the calibration signals produced by each of the four numbered buttons on the
	HP 59992A J06 Time Interval Calibrator.
	This is a four-step calibration— all four steps must be successfully completed in
NOTE
	sequence, starting with step one and ending with step four. To restart the
	calibration (from step one), power cycle the Counter. A good precaution is to use
	an HP-IB program (see the programming example titled “To Read and Store
	Calibration Data” in Chapter 3 of the Programming Guide) to read and store the
	calibration factors prior to initiating any calibration(s).
Comments	∙ No query.
	∙ The calibration values are stored in non-volatile memory, and are unaffected
	by power-on, save/recall, and *RST.
	∙ Use :DIAG:CAL:STAT? to check for successful calibration, after all four
	steps have been completed.
	∙ Note, early versions of the Counter do not support these commands.
