Description:

The example program is written for the X-Series Signal Analyzers (N9000A, N9010A, N9020A, N9030A).  It demonstrates how to most efficiently manage the internal alignments of the instrument when controlling the instrument remotely.  The "CAL:EXPIRED?" command is supported in software revision A.11.03 and later and allows just those alignments that have expired to run.  The "CAL:AUTO PART" command allows the instrument to automatically run those internal alignments that are brief.  The use of these commands together is recommended to most efficiently handle running the internal alignments when it is most convient when the instrument is under automated test control.  An additional programming example that demonstrates how to poll to determine when alignments are complete is available here:  Cal_Complete_Example

Languages Supported:

Keysight VEE 9.2 and later

Additional Requirements:

X-Series Software Revision A.11.03 or later

Revision Date:

April 25, 2013
