Starts the currently selected alignment procedure (see SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:PROCedure[?]).
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above
Example:
' Start the currently selected alignment procedure.
TestSet.WriteString("SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:IMMediate")
Queries the status of the currently running alignment procedure. Returns a 1 when the alignment operation is complete.
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above
Example:
' Query the status of the currently running alignment procedure.
TestSet.WriteString("SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:IMMediate:OPComplete?")
Cancels the alignment procedure.
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above
Example:
' Cancel the alignment procedure.
TestSet.WriteString("SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:CANCel")
Queries the percentage complete of an alignment procedure.
Query Range: 0 to 100
Test Set Requirements: E6601A WCTS Program Version A.01 and above
Example:
' Query the percentage complete of an alignment procedure.
TestSet.WriteString("SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:DONE:PERCent?")
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?")
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")
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?")
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")
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?")
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
Example:
' Set the level of messages reported during an alignment procedure to Low.
TestSet.WriteString("SYSTem:TOOLs:ALIGnment:VERBose LOW")
