Calibration Commands
ERATio:STATus?
ERATio:STATus?
Query :CALibrate:ERATio:STATus? CHANnel<N>
This query returns CALIBRATED or DEFAULTED indicating whether the ratio being used
is the result of an extinction ratio calibration or is the factory default value. Once an extinc-
tion ratio calibration is performed, the query always returns DEFAULTED until the instru-
ment power is cycled or the module is removed and then re-inserted into the instrument.
<N> is an integer, from 1 to 4.
Returned Format [:CALibrate:ERATio:STATus] {CALIBRATED | DEFAULTED}<NL>
FRAMe:LABel
Command :CALibrate:FRAMe:LABel <label>
This command is intended for user notes, such as name/initials of the calibrator or special
notes about the calibration. It accepts a string of up to 80 characters. The information is
optional. <label> is a string, enclosed with quotes, with a maximum of 80. characters.
Query :CALibrate:FRAMe:LABel?
The query returns the currently defined label for the frame.
Returned Format [:CALibrate:FRAMe:LABel] <quoted string><NL>
FRAMe:STARt
Command :CALibrate:FRAMe:STARt
Starts the annual calibration on the instrument mainframe. Whenever a calibration message
is displayed on the instrument, send the :CALibrate:CONTinue, :CALibrate:CANCel, or :CAL-
ibrate:SDONE commands. Sending any other command, including *OPC, disrupts the instru-
ment forcing you to cycle instrument power.
FRAMe:TIME?
Query :CALibrate:FRAMe:TIME?
This query returns the date, time and temperature at which the last full frame calibration
process was completed.
Returned Format [:CALibrate:FRAMe:TIME] <time> <NL>
<time> Is in the format: DD MMM YY HH:MM <delta_temp>
<delta_temp> Is the difference between the current temperature and the temperature when the last cali-
bration was done. For example, <delta_temp> might be:
–5C
10C
–12C
MODule:LRESistance
Command :CALibrate:MODule:LRESistance <resistance_value>
