CALibration[<chan>]:DATA

Executing the CALibration:GAIN, or CALibration:ZERO commands with calibration security disabled (CALibration:SECure:STATe OFF set) and with CALibration:STORe:AUTO ON, increments the calibration number by one. With CALibration:STORe:AUTO ON, a complete calibration of all input ranges increments the number by several counts. It is possible by setting CALibration:STORe:AUTO to OFF, to defer the storing of calibration constants until explicitly told to do so by invoking the CALibration:STORe command.

The count increments whenever either channel stores calibration data to memory. The maximum value of the number is 2,147,483,647, after which it wraps around to 0.

Example Querying the calibration count

CAL:COUN?

Query calibration count, the count is shared

 

by both channels

:DATA

CALibration[<chan >]:DATA <block data > manually sets or queries the calibration constants. The query form of this command returns the calibration constants in IEEE-488.2 definite length arbitrary block format. The command (non-query) form is used to send calibration constants to the digitizer in indefinite or definite length arbitrary block format. The new calibration constants take effect immediately, but are not saved to non-volatile calibration memory unless the CALibration:STORe command is executed.
