Command Syntax

:CALibrate:PROBe:CHANnel{1:8}{A|B|C|D}:STARt

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

Starts a calibration for a probe on the indicated channel. The *OPC? query should be used to detect when a portion of the calibration has completed. Use the :CALibrate:CONTinue command to dismiss dialogs that are displayed during a calibration.

Requires FlexDCA revision A.02.00 and above.
