4-166 Agilent B1500A/B1505A Programming Guide, Edition 11
Command Reference
RC
0: Disables the function. Initial setting.
1: Enables the function.
2: Performs a capacitance offset measurement, and returns the result.
The QSZ 2 command does not enable the capacitance offset cancel function.
Example
Statements
OUTPUT @B1500;"QSZ 2"
OUTPUT @B1500;"*OPC?"
ENTER @B1500;A
ENTER @B1500 USING "#,3X,13D,X";Offset
OUTPUT @B1500;"QSZ 1"
RC
The RC command specifies the measurement range or the measurement ranging
type of the MFCMU. In the initial setting, the auto ranging is set. The range
changing occurs immediately after the trigger (that is, during the measurements).
For the high speed spot measurement, use the TC/TTC command.
The range setting is cleared by the CL, CA, IN, *TST?, *RST or a device clear (HP
BASIC CLEAR) command.
Syntax RC chnum,mode[,range
]
Parameters chnum : MFCMU measurement channel number. Integer expression. 1 to 10 or
101 to 1001. See Table 4-1 on page 4-16.
mode : Ranging mode. 0 (auto ranging. initial setting) or 2 (fixed range).
range : Measurement range. Needs to set when mode=2. Integer (0 or more).
50 Ω, 100 Ω, 300 Ω, 1 kΩ, 3 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 30 kΩ, 100 kΩ, and 300 kΩ
are selectable. See Table 4-17 on page 4-30. Available measurement
ranges depend on the output signal frequency set by the FC command.
Example
Statements
OUTPUT @B1500;"RC 8,0"
OUTPUT @B1500;"RC 8,2,10000"
RCV
This command enables the modules that fail the self-test or self-calibration so that it
can receive commands again.
The *OPC? command should be entered to confirm the completion of the module
recovery.
