Table 6-5. Commands (cont.)
*OPT?
Description
Sequential command.
Returns a list of analog modules installed in the Calibrator, including any auxiliary
amplifiers that are attached.
Parameter None
Response (Series of strings) A list of the modules and auxiliary amplifiers, separated by commas.
Example "5725A Attached","52120 Attached"
OUT
Description
Overlapped command, ignored if not in remote.
Sets the output of the Calibrator and establishes a new reference point for shifting the
output to determine UUT error. If only one parameter is supplied, the Calibrator makes
the minimum change needed to comply with the requested output. For example, if the
Calibrator setting is 1 V, 100 Hz and "OUT 2V" is sent, the setting changes to 2 V,
100 Hz.
Parameter
1. (Optional) Output amplitude with optional multiplier and unit. (At least one
parameter must be sent.)
2. (Optional) Output frequency with optional multiplier and unit. (At least one
parameter must be sent.)
Example
OUT -15.2 V (-15.2 V; frequency unchanged)
OUT 188.3 MA, 442 HZ (188.3 mA, 442 Hz)
OUT 1.9 MOHM (1.9 MΩ)
OUT 100 HZ (Sets the frequency only)
OUT?
Description
Sequential command
Returns the Calibrator output amplitude and frequency (does not include multipliers).
Parameter None
Response
1. (Float) Output amplitude
2. (String) Units (V, DBM, A, or OHM)
3. (Float) Frequency (0 if dc or ohms)
Example
1.256983E+01,V,0 (12.56983 V)
1.883E-01,A,4.42E+02 (188.3 mA, 442 Hz)
1.9E+06,OHM,0 (1.9 MΩ)
OUT_ERR?
Description
Sequential command.
Returns the UUT error computed by the Calibrator after the INCR command is used to
shift the output.
Parameter None
Response
1. (Float) UUT error magnitude
2. (String) units for the above number (PPM, PCT, or DB)
PHASE
Description
Overlapped command, ignored if not in remote.
Sets the phase output signal to lead or lag the main output signal by up to 180 degrees.
Parameter Phase in degrees (-359 to 359, fractions ignored)
