CH<x>:PRObe:SET {"50ohms ON"|"50ohms OFF"}
CH<x>:PRObe:SET?
The text in quotes is not case sensitive. For returns, the case is the same as the last
command received.
"50ohms ON" sets the input termination (when no tip is attached) to 50 Ω.
"50ohms OFF" turns off the 50 Ω input termination.
CH6:PRObe:SET "50ohms ON" sets the input termination of channel 6 to
50 Ω.
CH6:PRObe:SET? might return "50ohms OFF", indicating that the input
termination on channel 6 is off.
Requires a probe that supports the relevant error messages.
CH<x>:PRObe:STATus?
Returns an integer number that represents the sum total of binary error bits B0 –
B15. The error bits are not displayed; they are concatenated into the integer value.
The following is a list of the error for each bit.
• B0 – Probe disabled
• B1 – Jaws open
• B2 – Over range
• B3 – Probe temperature out of limits
• B4 – Degauss needed
• B5 – Probe tip missing
• B6 – Probe tip failed
• B7 – Probe tip not supported
• B8 – self-calibration is needed or recommended (the query will return 256 in
decimal format)
• B9 through B15 – Reserved
CH4:PROBE:STATus? might return 2, indicating that the probe is reporting an
open jaws error.
CH<x>:PRObe:UNIts?
CH4:PROBE:UNITS? might return "V", indicating that the unit of measure for
the probe attached to Channel 4 is Volts.
