CALL:STATus

Last updated: 2014-11-28

The CALL:STATus commands are query only. They return values that indicate the test set's actual hardware settings. Actual hardware settings can differ from settings the user has entered, most frequently due to an error condition. When no error conditions exist, the commands used to enter values return the same results as the commands used to query actual hardware settings. For example, "CALL:AWGNoise:POWer?" returns the same value as "CALL:STATus:AWGNoise:POWer?" when no error conditions exist.
