Calibration Sequence
This feature allows you to perform a complete calibration sequence with a
single query. The query is:
CALibration[1|2][:ALL]?
The query assumes that the power sensor is connected to the power
reference oscillator. It turns the power reference oscillator on, then after
calibrating, returns the power reference oscillator to the same state it was
in prior to the command being received. The calibration sequence consists
of:
1 Zeroing the power meter (CALibration[1|2]:ZERO:AUTO ONCE)
2 Calibrating the power meter (CALibration[1|2]:AUTO ONCE)
The query enters a number into the output buffer when the sequence is
complete. If the result is 0 the sequence was successful. If the result is 1
the sequence failed. Refer to “CALibration[1]|2[:ALL]?” on page 204 for
further information.
NOTE
The CALibration[1|2][:ALL] command is identical to the
CALibration[1|2][:ALL]? query except that no number is returned to indicate the
outcome of the sequence. You can examine the Questionable Status Register or the error
queue to discover if the sequence has passed or failed. Refer to “Status Reporting” on
page 50 for further information.
