CAL:VAL:VOLT <measured value>
Send measured value to module
CALibration:ZERO?
CALibration:ZERO? corrects Analog to Digital converter offset for any drift since
the last *CAL? or CAL:ZERO? command was executed. The offset calibration takes
about 5 seconds and should be done as often as the control set up allows.
Comments •
The CAL:ZERO? command only corrects for A/D offset drift (zero). Use the
*CAL? common command to perform on-line calibration of channels as well as
A/D offset. *CAL? performs gain and offset correction of the A/D and each
channel with an analog SCP installed (both input and output).
•
Returned Value:
The data type for this returned value is int16.
