:CALibrate:TIMebase:SLOT:STARt

Command Syntax

:CALibrate:TIMebase:SLOT{1:8}:STARt

Where the required specifier {1:8} identifies a specific N1092 module by slot.

Description

For a N1092 module in the indicated slot, starts a N1092 Timebase Calibration. The following table lists the input clock signal requirements for the calibration waveform. The source of the calibration waveform must be a calibrated microwave or vector signal generator. Do not use a pattern generator or arbitrary waveform generator. When the calibration starts, the N1092 automatically switches to oscilloscope mode.

Connect the signal to an N1092's electrical channel input and to the front-panel Clock In input. Use the :CALibrate:TIMebase:SLOT:CHANnel command to specify the input channel. After performing the calibration.

Clock Signal Requirements

DCA-M	Frequency	Amplitude
N109x-series	26.000000 GHz	100 mVpp to 700 mVpp
