Calibration Commands 11
Agilent Infiniium 90000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Reference 167
:CALibrate:OUTPut
Command :CALibrate:OUTPut {{AC | TRIGOUT} | {DC,<dc_value>}}
The :CALibrate:OUTPut command sets the coupling frequency, trigger
output pulse, and dc level of the calibrator waveform output through the
front-panel Aux Out connector. To trigger other instruments, use the
TRIGOUT setting to cause the oscilloscope to send a pulse when the
trigger event occurs. The AC sets the Aux Out to be the probe
compensation square wave (approximately 750 Hz).
<dc_value> A real number for the DC level value in volts, adjustable from -2.4 V to
+2.4 V dc.
Example This example puts a DC voltage of 2.0 volts on the oscilloscope front- panel
Aux Out connector.
myScope.WriteString ":CALIBRATE:OUTPUT DC,2.0"
Query :CALibrate:OUTPut?
The :CALibrate:OUTPut? query returns the current setup.
Returned Format
[:CALibrate:OUTPut] {{AC | TRIGOUT} | {DC,<dc_value>}}
Example This example places the current selection for the DC calibration to be
printed in the string variable, strSelection, then prints the contents of the
variable to the computer's screen.
Dim strSelection As String 'Dimension variable
myScope.WriteString ":CALIBRATE:OUTPUT?"
strSelection = myScope.ReadString
Debug.Print strSelection
