CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:DISTortion:BACKoff:COMPression <num>

Applicable Models: All (Read-Write) Sets the compression level used in determining the back off calculation.
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement (optional).
<mnum>	Measurement number for each measurement.
<num>	Compression level.
Examples	CALC1:MEAS2:DIST:BACK:COMP 1 dB calculate2:measure2:distortion:backoff:compression 1 dB
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:DISTortion:BACKoff:COMPression?
Return Type	Numeric
Default	1 dB

CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:DISTortion:BACKoff[:STATe] <bool>

Applicable Models: All (Read-Write) Enables/disables compression level back off function specified using the CALCulate:MEASure:DISTortion:BACKoff:COMPression command. When enabled, the x-axis changes to display the back off from the compression point.
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement (optional).
<mnum>	Measurement number for each measurement.
<bool>	Compression level back off state. Choose from: 0 - Compression level back off state OFF 1 - Compression level back off state ON
Examples	CALC:MEAS2:CORR ON calculate:measure2:correction:state off
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:DISTortion:BACKoff[:STATe]?
Return Type	Boolean
Default	OFF

CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:DISTortion:MODE <char>

Applicable Models: All (Read-Write) Displays phase or amplitude distortion.
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement (optional).
<mnum>	Measurement number for each measurement.
<char>	Choose from: OFF AMPM - Displays phase distortion (in degrees). AMAM - Displays amplitude distortion (in dB).
Examples	CALC:MEAS:DIST:MODE AMAM calculate2:measure1:distortion:mode amam
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:DISTortion:MODE?
Return Type	Character
Default	OFF

CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:DISTortion:SLOPe:APERture <num>

Applicable Models: All (Read-Write) Sets the aperture value over which the phase or gain slope will be calculated.
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement (optional).
<mnum>	Measurement number for each measurement.
<num>	Aperture value.
Examples	CALC1:MEAS2:DIST:SLOP:APER 1 dB calculate2:measure2:distortion:slope:aperture 1 dB
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:DISTortion:SLOPe:APERture?
Return Type	Numeric
Default	1 dB

CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:DISTortion:SLOPe[:STATe] <bool>

Applicable Models: All (Read-Write) Enables/disables phase slope (AMPM) or gain slope (AMAM) over the slope aperture to be displayed.
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement (optional).
<mnum>	Measurement number for each measurement.
<bool>	Compression level back off state. Choose from: 0 - Phase or gain slope over aperture state OFF 1 - Phase or gain slope over aperture state ON
Examples	CALC:MEAS2:DIST:SLOP ON calculate:measure2:distortion:slope:state off
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:DISTortion:SLOPe[:STATe]?
Return Type	Boolean
Default	OFF
