CALibration:STATe ON | 1 | OFF | 0 enables the calibration of the instrument.
Many instrument operations are not allowed when this state is ON and will result in
an error "Illegal while calibrating". You must remember to set the calibration state
to OFF when calibration is finished.
Sending CAL:STAT OFF, without storing any modified cal constants with the
CAL:STORe command, will generate an error. Send the ABORt or *RST
command to abort a calibration without storing cal constants.

CALibration:STATe? queries the present calibration state of the instrument. A
return value of "1" indicates the instrument is enabled and will accept calibration
commands and perform calibrations. A return value of "0" indicates the instrument
is not calibration enabled and attempting to execute a calibration process command
such as CAL:GAIN or CAL:ZERO, will return the error "Calibration not enabled".
CALibration:STORe writes the calibration constants to non-volatile RAM after
calibration has been completed.
You must have the FLASH and CAL CONSTANTS switches set to the "Write
Enable" positions before calibration constants are stored in RAM.

CALibration:VALue <voltage> specifies the voltage value actually applied to the
channel for calibration. This value informs the digitizer what voltage is either being
placed on the front panel input connector (CAL:SOURce EXTernal) or the value
being generated by the internal DAC (HP E1564A 4-Channel Digitizer only) and
