268 VT1422A Command Reference

CALibration:SETup

causes the Channel Calibration function to be performed for
every module channel with an analog SCP installed (input or output). The Channel
Calibration function calibrates the A/D Offset and the Gain/Offset for these analog
channels. This calibration is accomplished using internal calibration references. For
more information see *CAL? on page 399.
Note that the scope of the *CAL? and CAL:SETup commands is limited to the
VT1422A and the SCPs it contains. They do not calibrate Remote Signal
Conditioning Units like the VT1529A/B. CAL:REMote? must be used in addition to
*CAL?/CAL:SETup for RSCs.
•
CAL:SET performs the same operation as the *CAL? command except that,
since it is not a query command, it doesn't tie-up the driver waiting for response
data from the instrument. If there are multiple VT1422As in a system, a
CAL:SET operation can be started on each and then a CAL:SET? command can
be executed to complete the operation on each instrument.
