TestSet.WriteString("SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:DONE:PERCent?")

SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:FULL:LAST[:DTIMe]?

Queries the date and time of the last full alignment procedure.

Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above

Example:

' Query the date and time of the last full alignment procedure.

TestSet.WriteString("SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:FULL:LAST:DTIMe?")

SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:PROCedure[?]

Sets/queries the type of alignment procedure to run.

Setting Range: FULL | RFGenerator  

Query Range: FULL | RFG

Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above

Example:

' Set the alignment procedure type to FULL.

TestSet.WriteString("SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:PROCedure FULL")

SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:RFGenerator:LAST[:DTIMe]?

Queries the date and time of the last RF Generator alignment procedure.

Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above

Example:

' Query the date and time of the last RF Generator alignment procedure.

TestSet.WriteString("SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:RFGenerator:LAST:DTIMe?")

SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:RFGenerator:NOTification[?]

Sets/queries the RF Generator Alignment notification state. When set to OFF (0), notification is turned off.

Setting Range: 0 | OFF | 1 | ON

Query Range: 0 | 1

*RST Setting: 1 | ON

Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above

Example:

' Turn off RF Generator alignment notification.

TestSet.WriteString("SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:RFGenerator:NOTification OFF")

SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:STATus?

Queries the status of an alignment procedure.

Query Range: PASS | FAIL | BUSY | NAV (Not available)

Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above

Example:

' Query the status of the adjustment procedure.

TestSet.WriteString("SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:STATus?")

SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:VERBose[?]

Sets/queries the level of messages reported during an alignment procedure.

Setting Range: LOW | HIGH

Query Range: LOW | HIGH

*RST Setting: HIGH

Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above
