(Waveform query) Shows the waveform types for ac outputs. Waveform selections are
SINE (sine wave), TRI (triangle wave), SQUARE (square wave), TRUNCS (truncated
sine wave), or NONE (waveform does not apply).
Responses: <1st waveform> , (SINE, TRI, SQUARE, TRUNCS, NONE)
<2nd waveform> (SINE, TRI, SQUARE, TRUNCS, NONE)
Example: WAVE? shows SQUARE,NONE
Shows SQUARE when the ac primary output (Calibrator front panel NORMAL terminals)
is a square wave and NONE when there is no secondary output on the front panel AUX
terminals.

(Impedance Compensation command) Activates or deactivates 2-wire or 4-wire
impedance compensation. For resistance output, compensation is permitted when the
resistance is less than 110 kΩ. For capacitance output, compensation is permitted when
the capacitance is equal to or larger than 110 nF. For all other resistances and
capacitances, the compensation is NONE and tries to use other parameters results in the
error message “Can’t change compensation now.” For RTD temperature simulation,
compensation is permitted 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 Calibrator 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.)

(Impedance Compensation query) Shows status of 2-wire or 4-wire impedance
compensation.
Responses: NONE (impedance compensation is turns off)
WIRE2 (2-wire impedance compensation is on)
WIRE4 (4-wire impedance compensation is off)
Example: ZCOMP? shows NONE
Shows NONE when no impedance compensation is applied to the resistance, capacitance
or RTD output.
