Query Syntax

:CALibrate:DARK:CHANnel{1:8}{A|B|C|D}:STATus:DETails?

Where the required specifier {1:8}{A|B|C|D} identifies a channel by its module slot number and channel letter. For example, channel 3C (CHANnel3C).

The channel specifier will fail if it does not include a slot number. If instead the suffix's channel letter is missing, the command defaults to letter A. As a result, the best practice is to always explicitly specify the channel by including both the module slot number and channel letter.

Description

Time of last Calibration: 10/23/2012 11:52:00,Elapsed Calibration Time: 3 hours 2 minutes,Temperature Change: 1.24 C"

If a calibration is recommended, the following text is placed at the beginning of the above string:

"Requires Clock Recovery Calibration, …"

If a calibration has not yet been performed, the following string is returned:

"This calibration has never been performed in this instrument."

Example Returned Status String

"Dark Calibration for this channel configuration has not been performed since the last user module calibration."
