IQS-3150

Product-Specific Commands—Description

:OUTPut[1..n]:DTOlerance?

Description

This query returns the drift tolerance that is used

for power tracking via the ALC (Automatic

Leveling Control) loop.

At *RST, the value that will be set depends on the

instrument you have.

Syntax

:OUTPut[1..n]:DTOlerance?[<wsp>MAXimum|

MINimum|DEFault]

Parameter(s)

Parameter 1:

The program data syntax for the first parameter is

defined as a <CHARACTER PROGRAM DATA>

element. The allowed <CHARACTER PROGRAM

DATA> elements for this parameter are:

MAXimum|MINimum|DEFault.

MINimum is used to retrieve the instrument's

lowest supported value.

MAXimum is used to retrieve the instrument's

highest supported value.

DEFault is used to retrieve the instrument's

default value.

Response Syntax

<Drift>
