Command Syntax

:CALibrate:ACAL:FORCe

Description

Starts an automatic DCA-M calibration (AutoCal) of all enabled DCA-M modules. The calibration immediately starts regardless of the maximum elapsed time setting (:CALibrate:ACAL:TIME command) or maximum change in temperature setting (:CALibrate:ACAL:TEMPedrature command). Use the :CALibrate:MODule SCPI node commands to enable or disable vertical and clock recovery (if applicable) calibrations for any single DCA-M module.

Always follow the :CALibrate:ACAL:FORCe command with an *OPC? query to pause program execution until the AutoCal completes.

AutoCal requires that the optical switch supports being configured by FlexOTO to disconnect all switch paths to the switch's output. Otherwise, an AutoCal is not possible. As a results Keysight N773xx-series switches do not support AutoCal. Other switches may support AutoCal based on their installed switch modules. If you have installed a switch by writing a switch driver, the driver must by able to send to the switch the required commands to disconnect all switch paths.
