CAL_NEXT?
Returns the value of the next point to be calibrated when in the process of
calibrating a range. Otherwise, this returns 0.0,-1.0.
Parameter
None
Response
1. (Float) The nominal amplitude of the expected value for the next
calibration point. The units are assumed to be volts. For example, if the
Product has calibrated the positive polarity for a dc range, the
CAL_NEXT? query will return the negative of the reference value used for
the positive polarity calibration.
2. (Float) The frequency of the next point to be calibrated. The units are
assumed to be Hertz.
Example
CAL_DC INPUT2, 150 MV
CAL_NEXT?
2.0E-01,0.0E+00
If the Product has calibrated the first point of an ac range, the CAL_NEXT?
query returns the amplitude and frequency of the next point to be calibrated
(the amplitude returned is what would be the default when doing this
calibration from the front panel).
CAL_AC INPUT2, 150 MV
CAL_NEXT?
2.0E-01,1.0E+06
If the Product is not in the middle of calibrating a range, the CAL_NEXT? query
returns the values 0,0.
CAL_OFF
Cancels any interactive calibration underway (that is, one started with the
CAL_AC, CAL_DC, or CAL_I2 commands).
Parameter
None
CAL_PASSWD
Sequential command. Sets security password. The Calibration secure state must
be set to off or an execution fault results.
Parameter
1. Current security passcode (quoted string consisting of up to 8 decimal digits).
2. New security passcode (quoted string consisting of up to 8 decimal digits).
Example
CAL_PASSWD "5790", "12345"
Sets the security passcode to 12345.
