## Query Syntax

    :CALibrate:PROBe:CHANnelN:STATus?

Where N identifies a specific channel in the form "<connection1-8>_<ch1-8>". With connection 1, the connection number part (that is, "1_") is optional, and you can simply use the channel number "<ch1-8>". For example, connection 4 channel 2 is `CHANnel4_2`.

## Description

Queries the overall calibration status for the probe on the specified channel. If a vertical or skew calibration is needed, the probe on the specified channel is considered to be uncalibrated.

One of the following response strings is returned:

"CALIBRATED"
  The calibrations are valid.
"UNCALIBRATED"
  At least one calibration is needed.
""
  An empty string is returned if the hardware for the indicated connection number does not exist. An -241,"Hardware missing" error is returned by the `:SYSTem:ERRor:NEXT?` command.

To check the status of the individual calibrations, use the `:CALibrate:PROBe:CHANnel:VERTical:STATus?` or `:CALibrate:PROBe:CHANnel:SKEW:STATus?` queries.

Use the child queries listed in the following table to return details about the current calibration.

Status String Child Queries
Status String | Child Query to Send
--- | ---
Time of last calibration, Time change since last calibration, and Temperature change since last calibration | `:CALibrate:PROBe:CHANnel:STATus:DETails?`
Change in temperature | `:CALibrate:PROBe:CHANnel:STATus:DTEMperature?`
Change in Time | `:CALibrate:PROBe:CHANnel:STATus:TIME?`
