(Waveform command) Set the waveforms for ac outputs. If the 5500A Calibrator is
sourcing one output, one parameter is required. If the 5500A Calibrator is sourcing two
outputs, two parameters are required or one parameter to set the waveform to both
outputs. Waveform choices are SINE (sinewave), TRI (trianglewave), SQUARE
(squarewave), TRUNCS (truncated sinewave), or NONE (waveform does not apply).
Parameter: <1st waveform> , (SINE, TRI, SQUARE, TRUNCS, NONE)
<2nd waveform> (SINE, TRI, SQUARE, TRUNCS, NONE)
Example: WAVE SINE,SQUARE
Set the waveforms for a dual output to Sinewave on the primary output (5500A
Calibrator front panel NORMAL terminals) and Squarewave on the secondary output
(front panel AUX terminals).

(Waveform query) Return the waveform types for ac outputs. Waveform choices are
SINE (sinewave), TRI (trianglewave), SQUARE (squarewave), TRUNCS (truncated
sinewave), or NONE (waveform does not apply).
Responses: <1st waveform> , (SINE, TRI, SQUARE, TRUNCS, NONE)
<2nd waveform> (SINE, TRI, SQUARE, TRUNCS, NONE)
Example: WAVE? returns SQUARE,NONE
Return SQUARE when the ac primary output (5500A Calibrator front panel NORMAL
terminals) is a squarewave and NONE when there is no secondary output on the front
panel AUX terminals.

(Impedance Compensation command) Activate or deactivate 2-wire or 4-wire
impedance compensation. For resistance output, compensation is allowed when the
resistance is less than 110 kΩ. For capacitance output, compensation is allowed when the
capacitance is equal to or greater than 110 nF. For all other resistances and capacitances,
the compensation is NONE and attempts to use other parameters results in the error
message “Can’t change compensation now.” For RTD temperature simulation,
compensation is allowed for all temperatures.
Parameter: NONE (Turns off impedance compensation circuitry)
WIRE2 (Turns on the 2-wire impedance compensation circuitry)
WIRE4 (Turns on the 4-wire impedance compensation circuitry)
Example: ZCOMP WIRE2
Set 2-wire impedance compensation for the 5500A Calibration UUT connection.
(Resistance if the ohms value is less than 110 kΩ, capacitance if the farads value is
110 nF or more, or RTD temperature simulation, any value.)
