4.6 Alignments
The “Align 20 Hz to 3.6 GHz required” Error Condition appears when this alignment
has expired.You must now perform the Align Now, 20 Hz to 3.6 GHz to keep the
receiver in warrantied operation.
Remote Command
:CALibration:RFPSelector:FULL
:CALibration:RFPSelector:FULL?
Example
:CAL:RFPS:FULL
Notes The query returns 0 if successful, or 1 if failed
When Align 20 Hz to 3.6 GHz is performed, alignment, bit 0 in the Status Operation register is set.
Completion, or termination, clears bit 0 in the Status Operation register
This command is sequential; it must complete before further SCPI commands are processed.
Interrupting the alignment from remote is accomplished by invoking Device Clear, followed by
:ABORt. Successful completion clears bit 1, bit 2 in the Status Questionable Calibration Extended
Needed register and bit 0, bit 1 in Status Questionable Calibration Extended Failure register
A failure encountered during alignment sets the Error Condition “20 Hz to 3.6 GHz Alignment Failure”
and sets bit1, bit 2 in the Status Questionable Calibration Extended Needed register and bit 9 in
Status Questionable Calibration register
Dependencies Does not appear in non-RF Preselector models, setting or querying the SCPI generates an error

Alert
Enables or disables the display of RF Preselector alignment required message on the
status line. The instrument powers up with Alert ON.
