CALibration[:INTernal]:AUTOcal

Description:

Performs a multi-point sensor gain calibration of the selected sensor with the internal 50 MHz
calibrator. This procedure calibrates the sensor’s linearity at a number of points across its entire
dynamic range. The calibration source defaults to the instrument’s internal calibrator if not
specified.

Syntax:

CALibration[1|2][:INTernal]:AUTOcal[?]

Returns:

0 if successful, 1 otherwise (using query form only)

Valid Modes:

Peak and CW Power sensors only

CALibration[:INTernal]:FIXedcal

Description:

Performs a calibration at a fixed frequency and level. Fixed-cal does not provide for automatic
control of the internal 50 MHz calibrator. The RF output level of the calibrator in use must be set
by the user. Fixed-cal assumes that a valid Zero has already been performed.

Syntax: CALibration[1|2][:INTernal]:FIXedcal[?]

Returns:

0 if successful, 1 otherwise (using query form only)

Valid Modes:

CW Power sensors only

CALibration[:INTernal]:ZERO

Description:

For a sensor that has been previously auto calibrated and has valid auto-cal status, performs a zero
offset null adjustment. The sensor does not need to be connected to any calibrator for zeroing –
the procedure is often performed in-system. However, this command will turn off the internal
calibrator prior to zeroing to avoid the need to perform this step explicitly.

Syntax:

CALibration[1|2][:INTernal]:ZERO[?]

Returns:

0 if successful, 1 otherwise (using query form only)

Valid Modes:

Any
