Sense:Correction:Collect:Session Commands - Superseded


Note: These commands are replaced with Sense:Corr:Guided commands.

The commands in this topic are common to perform both SMC and VMC calibrations.

A calibration session is a term used to describe an instance of a SMC or VMC calibration. The session number is chosen in the SENS:CORR:COLL:SESS:INITiate command. All other commands refer to that session number. For more commands, see SESS:SMC and SESS:VMC.

Commands to read (STEP?) and describe (DESC?) each step are provided to facilitate a remote user interface.

SENSe<ch>:CORRection:COLLect:SESSion<n>:ACQuire <step>[,sync]

Applicable Models: N522xB, N524xB

(Write only) Acquire a calibration measurement.

Parameters

 

<ch>

Any existing channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1.

Session number of the calibration.

Learn about Cal sessions.

<step>

Step number to acquire. Use SENS:CORR:COLL:SESS:STEPS? to find the number of steps required for the calibration.

[sync]

Optional argument. Choose from:

SYNChronous - blocks SCPI commands during standard measurement (default behavior).

ASYNchronous - does NOT block SCPI commands during standard measurement.
