DIAGnostic

Subsystem Syntax

The DIAGnostic subsystem contains several commands which were developed to test the instrument at the factory. Several of these commands may prove useful for trouble shooting or special applications, and so they are written up here.

:CALibration[<chan >]:CONVerge?

DIAGnostic:CALibration[<chan >]:CONVerge? returns a real array containing convergance data from the latest CAL:ZERO or CAL:GAIN command. This array contains pairs of data points, with the first data point in a pair being the average of the readings taken, and the second data point is the new calibration constant which will be used on the next convergance iteration. The channel number passed in is irrelevant, as the data brought back always pertains to the most recently attempted CAL:GAIN or CAL:ZERO.
