Optional parameters that are left blank are filled from left to right. Therefore,
it is necessary to use the syntax DEFault to note that a particular parameter is
to use the default value. For example, to specify a sample rate other than the
default, you must declare DEFault for the <readings> parameter or the <rate>
parameter value you intended will be used to fill in the <readings> parameter.
The command for channel 1 would appear as: CAL:GAIN1 DEF,.002. If you
are calibrating the 16V range and you want to recalculate the 64V and 256V
calibration constants, the command is: CAL:GAIN1 DEF,.002,ON.

CALibration:SOURce INTernal | EXTernal specifies the calibration source to
be used for any subsequent gain calibrations. "EXTernal" is the default source, a
voltage must be provided from an external source to the channel being calibrated.
The "INTernal" source is available only on the HP E1564A 4-Channel Digitizer.
CAL:SOURce INTernal
< voltage > onto the calibration bus where it is applied internally to the channels. It
is also available on the top two pins of the front panel D-subminiature connector
where you must measure the voltage with a transfer standard (accurate voltmeter)
and enter the measured value using the CAL:VALue command. The calibration
gain command then sets calibration constants for the value you input assuming it is
the value on the calibration bus.

CALibration:SOURce? queries which calibration source is set. This setting is
shared by all channels. Returns either "INT" for INTernal or "EXT" for EXTernal.
