5.4.2 Diagnostic Test Commands
Table5-1 lists the VXI Diagnostic commands for testing and adjusting the 58542 VXIbus Universal
Power Meter. A typical example is shown after the command syntax. Some commands are described in
the maintenance/calibration section.
It is necessary to disable channels 1 and 2 from taking measurements before using these diagnostic
commands. This is accomplished with the following commands:
CALC1:STAT OFF
CALC2:STAT OFF
