HP437B Emulation Commands GPIB Operation
8-116 PN: 10585-00001 Rev. P ML2437A/38A OM/PM
RC (Recall setup)
RE (Set decimal point resolution)
RF (Set the reference cal factor value for a table)
RH (Range hold)
Syntax: RC<val>EN
val: 1 to 10
Remarks: The ML243xA can store up to 10 instrument configurations for
convenient recall. The configuration parameters stored are the same
parameters the ML243xA stores in its own *SAV and *RCL native
commands. Therefore, RC is equivalent to *RCL, and ST is equivalent to
*SAV.
Selecting Register 0 always restores the previous power meter
configuration, providing an expedient way to recover from an entry
error.
Syntax: RE<number>EN
val: 1, 2, or 3
Remarks: Set the number of decimal places displayed.
Example: To set the display resolution to 2 decimal places:
RE2EN
Syntax: RF<table_number><cal_factor>%
table number: 0 to 9
cal factor: 50 to 150
%: terminator
Remarks: Set the reference cal factor value for a table. Since the ML243xA stores
the cal factor table information in the sensor, this data must be saved to
the sensor by using the ‘EX’ command or an additional command ‘SV’, or
the data could be lost. The saving of the cal factor table data to the
sensor can be done at the end of all updates to a particular table.
Syntax: RH
Remarks: Hold the power meter in the current range. The differences in sensor
ranges must be taken into account when the ML2430 is being used to
emulate the HP437.
