execution, select Auto Align Off.
Normal
Auto Align, Normal turns on the automatic alignment of all measurement systems. The Auto Align,
Normal selection maintains the instrument in warranted operation across varying temperature and over
time.
If the condition “Align Now, All required” is set, transition to Auto Align, Normal will perform the
required alignments and clear the “Align Now, All required” condition and then continue with further
alignments as required to maintain the instrument adequately aligned for warranted operation.
When
Auto Align, Normal is selected the Auto Align Off time is set to zero.
When
Auto Align, Normal is selected the Settings Panel indicates ALIGN AUTO.
Key Path: System, Alignments
Mode: All
Remote Command: :CALibration:AUTO ON|PARTial|OFF
:CALibration:AUTO?
Example: :CAL:AUTO ON
Notes: While Auto Align is executing, bit 0 of Status Operation register is set.
Couplings: Auto Align is set to Off if Restore Align Data is invoked.
Preset: This is unaffected by Preset but is set to ON upon a “Restore System
Defaults->Align”.
State Saved: No
Status Bits/OPC dependencies: When Auto Align is executing, bit 0 in the Status Operational register is set.
Backwards Compatibility SCPI: :CALibration:AUTO ALERt
Parameter ALERt is for backward compatibility only and is mapped to
PARTial
Backwards Compatibility Notes: ESA SCPI for Auto Align is :CALibration:AUTO <Boolean>. The command
for X-Series is an enumeration. Thus the parameters of “0” and “1” are not
possible in X-Series.
Similarly, the ESA SCPI for :CALibration:AUTO? returned the Boolean
value 1 or 0, in X-Series it is an Enumeration (string). Thus, queries by
customer applications into numeric variables will result in an error
In PSA Auto Align OFF was not completely off, it is equivalent to PARTial in
X-Series. In X-Series, OFF will be fully OFF. This means users of PSA SCPI
who choose OFF may see degraded performance and should migrate their
software to use PARTial.
