CALibration[:ALL]?
This command initiates the acquisition of system error correction data. A "0" is returned if the
acquisition was successful.
Note: During the acquisition of correction data the instrument does not accept any remote control
commands, except
*RST
CALibration:ABORt
In order to recognize when the acquisition of correction data is completed, the MAV bit in the status
byte can be used. If the associated bit is set in the Service Request Enable Register, the instrument
generates a service request after the acquisition of correction data has been completed.
Example: "*CLS" 'Resets the status management.
"*SRE 16" 'Enables MAV bit in the Service Request Enable Register.
"*CAL?" 'Starts the correction data recording and then a service
'request is generated.
Characteristics: *RST value: -
SCPI: conforming
Mode: all
CALibration:ABORt
This command aborts the acquisition of correction data and restores the last complete correction
data set.
Example: "CAL:ABOR"
Characteristics: *RST value: -
SCPI: device-specific
Mode: all
This command is an event and therefore has no *RST value and no query.
