Query Syntax

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

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

Queries the N1000A's change in temperature from the time when the last dark calibration was performed on the indicated channel. If a calibration has not yet been performed, a value of NaA (9.91E+37) is returned. A calibration should be performed if the change in N1000A temperature exceeds ±5°C. Use the CHANnel{N}:STARt command to start a dark calibration.

Requires FlexDCA revision A.01.70 and above.
