5.4 Commands Specific to the 3532-50, 3522-50

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

:COMParator:FLIMit:MODE

Set

the reference value and

the first parameter setting mode for the

comparator.

:COMParator:FLIMit:MODE?

Queries the reference value and the setting mode of the first

parameter for the comparator.

 Syntax 

:COMParator:FLIMit:MODE

<data>

 <data> 

ABSolute/PERcent/DEViation (character data)

 Function

 

Sets the first parameter setting mode for the comparator function.

ABSolute Absolute value setting mode (ABS)
PERcent Percentage setting mode (%)
DEViation Deviation percentage setting mode (

%)

 Example 

Transmission 

:COMParator:FLIMit:MODE PERcent

The percentage setting mode is selected.

 Error 

If <data> is other than character data described above, an execution error occurs.
Executing this command while the open or short circuit compensation is
performed generates an execution error.

 Syntax 

:COMParator:FLIMit:MODE?

 Function

 

Returns the current setting mode for the first parameter for the comparator
function as character data.

ABSOLUTE Absolute value setting mode (ABS) is selected.
PERCENT  

Percentage setting mode (%) is selected.

DEVIATION Deviation percentage setting mode (

%) is selected.

 Example 

Response 

If headers are on

 

:COMPARATOR:FLIMIT:MODE PERCENT

If headers are off 

PERCENT

 Error 

If the response message is longer than 300 bytes, a query error is generated.
