8.9.5 Calibration Specific Interface Commands
CALG Gain Calibration Constant Command
Input: CALG <input>, <type>, <value>[term]
Format: a,nn,±nnnnnnn
<input> Specifies which input or analog output the gain calibration constant will be
provided to. Valid entries are A or B for inputs and V for the analog output.
<type> Specifies the input sensor type. Valid entries are:
0 = Silicon Diode 6 = Thermo/25mV
1 = GaAlAs Diode or
Analog Output 7 = Thermo/50mV
2 = 100
Ω Plat/250 – Reversal Off 10 = 100Ω Plat/250 – Reversal On
3 = 100
Ω Plat/500 – Reversal Off 11 = 100Ω Plat/500 – Reversal On
4 = 1000
Ω Plat – Reversal Off 12 = 1000Ω Plat – Reversal On
5 = NTC RTD – Reversal Off 13 = NTC RTD – Reversal On
<value> Gain calibration constant value.
Remarks: Provides the gain calibration constant for the selected input or analog output.
CALG? Gain Calibration Constant Query
Input: CALG? <input>, <type>[term]
Format: a,nn
<input> A, B, or V
<type> 0
– 7 or 10 – 13
Returned: <value>[term]
Format: ±nnnnnnn (Refer to command for description)
CALREAD? Six Digit Input Reading Query
Input: CALREAD? <input>[term]
Format: a
<input> A or B
Returned: <value>[term]
Format: ±n.nnnnn
Remarks: Returns 6-digit value of selected input reading. Used for CALZ and CALG functions.
CALRSTG Reset Gain Calibration Constant Command
Input: CALRSTG <input>, <type>[term]
Format: a,nn
<input> Specifies which input for which to reset the gain calibration constant to the
default value. Valid entries are A or B for inputs and V for the analog output.
<type> Specifies the input sensor type. Valid entries are:
0 = Silicon Diode 6 = Thermo/25mV
1 = GaAlAs Diode or
Analog Output 7 = Thermo/50mV
2 = 100
Ω Plat/250 – Reversal Off 10 = 100Ω Plat/250 – Reversal On
3 = 100
Ω Plat/500 – Reversal Off 11 = 100Ω Plat/500 – Reversal On
4 = 1000
Ω Plat – Reversal Off 12 = 1000Ω Plat – Reversal On
5 = NTC RTD – Reversal Off 13 = NTC RTD – Reversal On
Remarks: Resets the gain calibration constant for a specific input and type to its default value.
