Calibration Commands
SDONe?
This command enables or disables the samplers in the module.
Example The following example enables sampler calibration for the module.
10 OUTPUT 707;":CALIBRATE:SAMPLERS ENABLE"
Query :CALibrate:SAMPlers?
The query returns the current calibration enable/disable setting.
Returned Format [:CALibrate:SAMPlers]{DISable | ENABle}<NL>
Example The following example gets the current setting for sampler calibration, stores it in the vari-
able Sampler$.
10 DIM Sampler$[50] !Dimension variable
20 OUTPUT 707;":CALIBRATE:SAMPLERS?"
30 ENTER 707;Sampler$
SDONe?
Query :CALibrate:SDONe?
The CALibrate:SDONe (Step DONe) query will return when the current calibration step is
complete.
The contents of the string returned indicates to the user the next step.
Returned Format [:CALibrate:SDONe] <string><NL>
Example This example places the current selection for the calibration pass/fail status to be printed in
the string variable, Selection$.
10 DIM Selection$[80] !Dimension variable
20 OUTPUT 707;":CALIBRATE:SDONE?"
30 ENTER 707;Selection$
SKEW
Command :CALibrate:SKEW {CHANnel<N>},<skew_value>
This command sets the channel-to-channel skew factor for a channel. The numerical argu-
ment is a real number in seconds which is added to the current time base position to shift the
position of the channel’s data in time. Use this command to compensate for differences in the
electrical lengths of input paths due to cabling and probes. <N> is an integer, from 1 to 4.
<skew_value> is a real number, 0 s to 100
μs.
NOTE In Jitter Mode, skew adjustments are disabled. Do not use this command in Jitter Mode. It generates a “Settings
conflict” error.
Example This example sets the analyzer channel 1 skew to 0.0001 s.
10 OUTPUT 707;":CALIBRATE:SKEW CHANNEL1,0.1s "
Query :CALibrate:SKEW? {CHANnel<N>}
The query returns the current skew value.
Returned Format [:CALibrate:SKEW] <skew_value><NL>
