Measurement channel if more than one channel is available.

Parameters:

<state>

ONCE

Only valid parameter for this command.

Return value if no calibration is in progress.
*RST:

OFF

Example:

*CLS
CAL1:ZERO:AUTO ONCE

Performs zeroing. Takes several seconds.

SYST:SERR?

Query

-240

Response: Warning; Zero Calibration failed; Results Degrading.

Manual operation:

See

"Zero Calibration"

Testing

The selftest allows a test of the internal circuitry of the power sensor.

Do not apply a signal to the sensor while the selftest is running. If the selftest is carried
out with a signal being present, error messages can erroneously be output for the test
steps

Offset Voltages

and/or

Noise Voltages

TEST:SENSor?

[<Item>]

Starts a selftest of the sensor. In contrast to

*TST?

, this command returns detailed

information that you can use for troubleshooting.

Query parameters:

<Item>

String

Usage:

Query only

Manual operation:
