The following command queries the currently selected math function:
CALCulate:FUNCtion?
This query returns the currently selected function
The following command turns the CALCulate subsystem, and thus all
math functions, on or off:
CALCulate[:STATe] {OFF>ON}
The following command queries the current calculation state:
CALCulate:STATe?
This query returns a "0" (OFF) or a "1" (ON).
