Page 60: Commands As Per Ieee 488.2
Remote Control - Commands R&S NRP-Z5x Commands as per IEEE 488.2 The sensor supports a subset of the possible setting commands and queries (Common Commands and Queries) in line with IEEE 488.2. *IDN? – Identification Query *IDN? returns a string with information on the sensor's identity (device identification code). In addition, the version number of the installed firmware is indicated. -

Page 62: Calibration:test:deviation
Remote Control - Commands R&S NRP-Z5x By invoking the CALibration:TEST? command, the power difference in W between the test heater switched on and off is determined and output. CALibration:TEST:DEViation? With CALibration:TEST:DEViation?, the power difference in W between the test heater switched on and off is determined. - Page 63 R&S NRP-Z5x Remote Control - Commands The query always yields 1 (= OFF). Default setting After a power-on reset, the zero offsets determined during the last calibration are used until the first zeroing. Therefore, very slight zero offsets are to be expected with a warmed up sensor. Initialization by means of *RST or SYSTem:INITialize has no influence on the current zero offsets.
