Math Functions

In addition to providing a separate null–per–function measurement capability,
the multimeter provides four math functions: dB measurements (dB), dBm
measurements (dBm), statistics for accumulated readings (STATS), and limit
testing (LIMITS). Only one of these math functions can be enabled at a time (in
addition to the null measurement), and remains in effect until you turn it off
or change it.
• Front Panel Operation: Press
• Remote Interface Operation: The following command selects the math function
The null function in the CALCulate:FUNCtion command is provided only for SCPI
N O TE
compatibility with the 34401A Multimeter. This null is not available from the front panel.
The use of this null is deprecated for the 34410A/11A/L4411A. Use the null-per-function
commands found in the [SENSe:] subsystem instead. See
page 59 and the Agilent 34410A/11A/L4411A Programmer's Reference Help for details.

MATH Select: OFF, dB, dBm, STATS or LIMITS.
See the dB, dBm, statistics, and limit testing sections that follow.
To turn any math function off: Press
MATH > OFF
to be used:
CALCulate:FUNCtion {NULL>DB>DBM>AVERage>LIMit}
The following command queries the currently selected math function:
CALCulate:FUNCtion?
This query returns the currently selected function
The following command turns the CALCulate subsystem, and thus all math
functions, on or off:
CALCulate[:STATe] {OFF>ON}
The following command queries the current calculation state:
CALCulate:STATe?
This query returns a "0" (OFF) or a "1" (ON).
Refer to the Agilent 34410A/11A/L4411A Programmer's Reference Help for
a complete description and syntax for these commands.
