CAL BNC connector.
Command Syntax
CAL_OUTPUT <mode>[,<level>[,<rate>]]
CAL_OUTPUT PULSE[,<width>]
<mode> : = {OFF, CALSQ, PF, TRIG, LEVEL, ENABLED}
<level> : = 50 mV to 1 V into 1 MΩ
<rate> : = 500 Hz to 1 MHz.
CALSQ provides a square signal; PF sets the pulse for Pass/Fail mode; TRIG sets the pulse for trigger
output; LEVEL provides a DC signal at the requested level; PULSE provides a single pulse
Query Syntax
