5.6 Command Explanation
5-33 ZM2371/ZM2372
:CALCulate:COMParator[:STATe] {ON|OFF|1|0}
:CALCulate:COMParator[:STATe]?
Description: Sets/queries whether the comparator function (bin sorting) is used or
not.
Parameters: {ON|1} Enables the comparator function.
{OFF|0} Disables the comparator function.
Setting example: :CALC:COMP ON
Sets so that the comparator function (bin sorting) is enabled.
Response: {1|0}
Query example: :CALC:COMP?
Response example: 1
The comparator function (bin sorting) is enabled.
Remarks: If the comparator function is set to ON (enabled),
•
The comparator result is displayed on the panel, and
•
For
ZM2372
, the comparator result is output to the handler interface.
•
The limit comparison function for primary and secondary parameters
is set to OFF (disabled).
If the comparator function is set to OFF (disabled),
•
The limit comparison function for primary and secondary parameters
is also set to OFF (disabled).
Besides the bin sorting, the following limit comparison can be used.

Limit comparison function
In the remote control, a set of numeric value range is specified respectively for primary
parameters and secondary parameters, so that they can be used for limit comparison
function. If either limit comparison function of primary parameters or secondary parameters
is enabled, the comparator operation changes from bin sorting to limit comparison. The limit
comparison function cannot be enabled by the panel operation.
When the limit comparison function is enabled,
•
The COMPRTR lamp on the front panel lights up.
•
A set of upper and lower limit values is used for screening of primary parameters. The
values are common to BIN1 of bin sorting.
•
A set of upper and lower limit values is used for screening of secondary parameters. The
values are common to bin sorting.
•
When the display format of primary and secondary parameters is deviation or
deviation %, the comparison format for limit comparison is also deviation or
deviation %.
•
BIN2 - BIN14 sorting is not executed. Setting to BIN1 - BIN14 is possible.
•
The limit comparison is performed regardless of the settings of comparator function (bin
sorting).
•
The display of measured value on the front panel is same as when the comparator
function (bin sorting) is enabled.
•
The setting of limit comparison is displayed in the comparator setting menu (see below
for instance).
