:ZCORrect[:STATe] <b>
This command controls Zero Correct.
Usage
:SYSTem:ZCORrect[:STATe] <b>
:ZCORrect?
<b>
 0 or OFF: Disable Zero Correct
 1 or ON: Enable Zero Correct
Details
This command enables or disables Zero Correct.
There are two methods to perform zero correction. The first method is consistent with the way zero
correction is performed from the front panel. That is, zero correct is enabled, and then this command
is used to enable zero correct. This command sequence is shown in Example 1. Note that this does
not work if the instrument is in one-shot mode.
The second method to perform zero correction is to first acquire the zero correct value, and then use
this command to enable Zero Correct. Example 2 demonstrates this method.
Example 1
:SYSTem:ZCHeck ON
:SYSTem:ZCORrect ON
Enable zero check.
Perform zero correction.
Note that this does not work if the instrument is
in one-shot mode.
Example 2
:SYSTem:ZCHeck ON
:SYSTem:ZCORrect:ACQuire
:SYSTem:ZCORrect ON
Enable zero check.
Acquire zero correct value.
Perform zero correction.
Also see
:ZCORrect:ACQuire (on page 14-130)
:ZCORrect:ACQuire
This command acquires zero correct value.
Usage
:SYSTem:ZCORrect:ACQuire
Details
This command acquires a zero correct value for zero correction. The value can only be acquired
while zero check is enabled. The internal offset becomes the correction value.
Zero correction can then be performed with zero check disabled. The description for
:ZCORrect[:STATe] provides a command sequence using an acquired zero correction value.
