Introduction
These event commands, when performed in the appropriate order and with the
appropriate calibration signals supplied to both channels, calibrate out the
differences in electrical path length between Channel 1 and Channel 2.
Before sending any of these commands, the appropriate calibration signal must be
supplied to both channels. Please see the section titled "To Initiate the Calibration
Routine" in Chapter 2 of the Operating Guide for details involved in providing the
calibration signals. The Operating Guide also discusses the difference between this
calibration and the alternate (simpler) choice, :DIAG:CAL:TINT:QUICk.
The command :DIAG:CAL:TINT:FINE1 invokes the first step of the calibration,
:DIAG:CAL:TINT:FINE2 invokes the second, and so on. Each step corresponds
to the calibration signals produced by each of the four numbered buttons on the
HP 59992A J06 Time Interval Calibrator.
This is a four-step calibration— all four steps must be successfully completed in
sequence, starting with step one and ending with step four. To restart the
calibration (from step one), power cycle the Counter. A good precaution is to use
an HP-IB program (see the programming example titled "To Read and Store
Calibration Data" in Chapter 3 of the Programming Guide) to read and store the
calibration factors prior to initiating any calibration(s).
No query.
The calibration values are stored in non-volatile memory, and are unaffected
by power-on, save/recall, and *RST.
Use :DIAG:CAL:STAT? to check for successful calibration, after all four
steps have been completed.
Note, early versions of the Counter do not support these commands.
