Command Reference
Calibration subsystem (:CALibration)
Chapter 4162
Calibration subsystem (:CALibration)
:DCFM
Supported PSG-A Series
:CALibration:DCFM
This command initiates a DCFM or DC
Φ
M calibration depending on the currently active
modulation. This calibration eliminates any dc or modulation offset of the carrier signal.
NOTE If the calibration is performed with a dc signal applied, any deviation
provided by the dc signal will be removed and the new zero reference point
will be at the applied dc level. The calibration will have to be performed
again when the dc signal is disconnected to reset the carrier signal to the
correct zero reference.

DCFM/DCΦM Cal
Remarks Use this calibration for externally applied signals. While the
calibration can also be performed for internally generated signals, dc
offset is not a normal characteristic for them.
