Language Reference
NRL Normalized Reference Level
The NRL command recalls the last calibration run. If one of the earlier
short or thru states has been recalled just before executing the NRL
command then the current and recalled states don't match and the
error occurs. To avoid this error, update the STORETHRU or
STORESHORT state register with the current state before turning
NRL on. The STORETHRU state register is state register 9. The
STORESHORT state register is state register 8. It is a good idea to take
a sweep (TS command) prior to saving the state using the SAVES 8 or
SAVES 9 command.
Parameters
number real from −100 to +100.
Preset State
