Critical Note: CALCulate commands act on the selected measurement. You can select one measurement for each channel using Calc:Par:MNUM or Calc:Par:Select. Learn more.

CALCulate<cnum>:FUNCtion:DATA?

(Read-only) Returns the trace statistic data for the selected statistic type for the specified channel. Select the type of statistic with CALC:FUNC:TYPE. See Critical Note
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
Return Type	Depends on FORM:DATA
Example	CALCulate2:FUNCtion:DATA?
Default	Not applicable

CALCulate<cnum>:FUNCtion:DOMain:USER[:RANGe] <range>

(Read-Write) Sets the range used to calculate trace statistics. Each channel has 16 user ranges. The x-axis range is specified with the CALC:FUNC:DOM:USER:START and STOP commands. See Critical Note
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
<range>	Range number. Choose from: 0 to 16 0 is Full Span of the current x-axis range 1 to 16 are user-specified ranges
Examples	CALC:FUNC:DOM:USER 4 calculate2:function:domain:user:range 0
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:FUNCtion:DOMain:USER[:RANGe]?
Return Type	Numeric
Default	0 - Full Span

CALCulate<cnum>:FUNCtion:DOMain:USER:STARt <range>, <start>

(Read-Write) Sets the start of the specified user-domain range. To apply this range, use CALC:FUNC:DOM:USER To set the stop of the range, use CALC:FUNC:DOM:USER:STOP. See Critical Note Note: This command does the same as CALC:MARK:FUNC:DOM:USER:STAR
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
<range>	Range number that will receive the start value. Choose an integer between 1 and 16
<start>	Start value of the specified range. Choose a real number between: the analyzer's Minimum and Maximum x-axis value.
Examples	CALC:FUNC:DOM:USER:STAR 1,1e9 calculate2:function:domain:user:start 2,2e9
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:FUNCtion:DOMain:USER:STARt? <range>
Return Type	Numeric
Default	The analyzer's Minimum x-axis value

CALCulate<cnum>:FUNCtion:DOMain:USER:STOP <range>, <stop>

(Read-Write) Sets the stop value of the specified user-domain range. To apply this range, use CALC:FUNC:DOM:USER. To set the start of the range, use CALC:FUNC:DOM:USER:START See Critical Note Note: This command does the same as CALC:MARK:FUNC:DOM:USER:STOP
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
<range>	Range number that will receive the stop value. Choose an integer between 1 and 16
<stop>	Stop value of the specified range. Choose a real number between: the analyzer's Minimum and Maximum x-axis value.
Examples	CALC:FUNC:DOM:USER:STOP 4,5e9 calculate2:function:domain:user:stop 3,8e9
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:FUNCtion:DOMain:USER:STOP? <range>
Return Type	Numeric
Default	The analyzer's Maximum x-axis value

CALCulate<cnum>:FUNCtion:EXECute

(Write-only) For the active trace of specified channel, executes the statistical analysis specified by the CALC:FUNC:TYPE command. See Critical Note
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
Examples	CALC:FUNC:EXEC calculate2:function:execute
Query Syntax	Not Applicable
Default	Not Applicable

CALCulate<cnum>:FUNCtion:STATistics[:STATe] <ON|OFF>

(Read-Write) Displays and hides the trace statistics (peak-to-peak, mean, standard deviation) on the screen. The analyzer will display either measurement statistics or Filter Bandwidth statistics; not both. See Critical Note
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
<ON\|OFF>	ON - Displays trace statistics OFF - Hides trace statistics
Examples	CALC:FUNC:STAT ON calculate2:function:statistics:state off
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:FUNCtion:STATistics[:STATe]?
Return Type	Boolean (1 = ON, 0 = OFF)
Default	OFF (0)

CALCulate<cnum>:FUNCtion:TYPE <char>

(Read-Write) Sets statistic TYPE that you can then query using CALC:FUNCtion:DATA?. Note: In PNA releases 4.2 and prior, this command applied the statistic type to all measurements. Now, this command affects only the selected measurement on the specified channel. See Critical Note
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
<char>	Choose from: PTPeak - the difference between the max and min data points on the trace. STDEV - standard deviation of all data points on the trace MEAN - mean (average) of all data points on the trace MIN - lowest data point on the trace MAX - highest data point on the trace
Examples	CALC:FUNC:TYPE PTP calculate2:function:type stdev
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:FUNCtion:TYPE?
Return Type	Character
Default	PTPeak
