4.6.6.2 Characterize Reference Clock
Calibrates the Reference Input Phase with the External Reference Output. This
feature is only available when either option DP2 or B40 is present. It requires
connecting the 10 MHz OUT to the EXT REF IN port with a BNC cable before running
the characterization.
See "Front panel guided calibration sequence" on page 2148
Remote Command
:CALibration:REFerence:CLOCk?
Example
:CAL:REF:CLOC:INIT?
connect cable
:CAL:REF:CLOC?
disconnect cable
:CAL:REF:CLOC:END?
Notes
:CALibration:REFerence:CLOCk?
returns 0 if successful, or 1 if failed
Dependencies Option DP2 or B40
Couplings Initializes the time for the Last Characterize Reference Clock Time
Records the temperature for the Last Characterize Reference Clock Temperature. Expected to be run
after :CAL:REF:CLOC:INIT, and before :CAL:REF:CLOC:END
Remote Command
:CALibration:REFerence:CLOCk:INITialize?
Example
:CAL:REF:CLOC:INIT?
Notes Returns 0 if successful, or 1 if failed
Dependencies Option DP2 or B40
Couplings Expected to be run before sending :CAL:REF:CLOC?. This will stop the current measurement when
it has completed (does not abort the current data acquisition), and prepare the instrument for the
expected cabling
Remote Command
:CALibration:REFerence:CLOCk:END?
Example
:CAL:REF:CLOC:END?
Notes Returns 0 if successful, or 1 if failed
Dependencies Option DP2 or B40
Couplings Expected to be run after sending :CAL:REF:CLOC?, and after removing the cable used in that
Characterize Reference Clock step. This will resume any queued measurements, and concludes the
reference clock characterization
Remote Command
:CALibration:TIME:REFerence:CLOCk?
Example
:CAL:TIME:REFerence:CLOCk?
