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

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.
