can consist of up to eight characters that include any letters, numeric digits, and
the underscore ‘_’.
This command may be password-protected. To access this command:
•
If the SYST:PASS:CONV? command returns a 0 (probe password-protec
-
tion is disabled), the password is not required.
•
If the SYST:PASS:CONV? command returns a 1 (probe password-protec
-
tion is enabled), the password must be successfully entered using the
SYST:PASS:CEN <pass> command (see Section 9.4.11, Password Com
-
mands).
8.4.4.11 CALCulate<chn>:CONVert:TEST? <res>|<volt>
Tests the temperature conversion for the specified channel.
CALC2:CONV:TEST? 100.0145
0.0100
The CALCulate suffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 to 4) or memory chan-
nel (5 to 14). For PRT/Thermistor channels, the <res> parameter specifies a re-
sistance value to convert to temperature. The <res> parameter is always in
Ohms for PRTs and KOhms for Thermistors. For Thermocouple channels, the
<volt> parameter specifies a voltage value to convert to temperature. The
<volt> parameter is always in mV. The response to this command is a tempera-
ture in the currently selected units. The current system units determine the scale
of the response.
8.4.5 Calibration Coefficient Commands
The calibration coefficient commands are used for querying and setting the
channel calibration date, due date, linearity, offset, scale, and RJC.
8.4.5.1 CALibrate:AUTo
Executes the automatic calibration procedure when using Fast Measurement
Mode (see Sections 6.9, Fast Measurement Mode, 7.1.1, Measure Period and
Fast Measurement Mode, and 7.1.5, Display Functions/Auto-Cal).
CAL:AUT
8.4.5.2 CALibrate<chn>:DATE:CALibrate? [MIN|MAX|DEF]
Returns the calibration date for the specified channel.
CAL1:DATE:CAL?
2000,9,22
The CALibrate suffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 to 4). This command
does not apply to memory channels. The response is returned in the format,
<year>,<month>,<day>. Specifying the MIN parameter returns a value of
99
