:CLIMits:FAIL?
:CALCulate3:CLIMits:FAIL? Read composite result of limit tests
Format :calc3:clim:fail?
Description This query command is used to obtain the composite result of the LIMIT 1 and LIMIT 2 tests.
The composite result is the logical OR’ed summary of LIMIT 1 and LIMIT 2.
After sending this command and addressing the Model 2001 to talk, a value (1 or 0) will be sent
to the computer:
1 = One or both tests have failed.
0 = Both tests have passed.
In the event of a failure (1), you can determine which test(s) has failed by using the fail command
of each limit (:LIMit1:FAIL? and :LIMit2:FAIL?).
This command (like the other fail commands) does not clear the fail indication for LIMIT 1 or
LIMIT 2.
Programming example This example assumes that LIMIT 1 and LIMIT 2 tests have been performed.
10 OUTPUT 716; “:calc3:clim:fail?”
20 ENTER 716; A$
30 PRINT A$
40 END
Line 10 Queries the composite result of the limit tests.
Line 20 Addresses the Model 2001 to talk.
Line 30 Displays the composite result of the limit tests.
:BSTRobe:STATe <b>
:CALCulate3:BSTRobe:STATe <b> Control binning strobe
Parameters <b> = 1 or ON Enable binning strobe
= 0 or OFF Disable binning strobe
Format :calc3:bstr <b>
Defaults Power-up Saved power-on setup
*RST OFF
:SYSTem:PRESet OFF
Query :STATe? Query state of binning strobe
Short-form format: :calc3:bstr:stat?
Response message: 1 (on) or 0 (off)
Description This command is used to enable or disable the strobe for the binning operation. When enabled,
digital output line #4 will be used for the binning strobe pulse. After the appropriate digital pat-
tern is placed on the other three lines of the output port, the >10µsec strobe pulse will be asserted
