SYSTem:CALibrate:ALL:CHANnel<ch>:PORTs[:SELect] <value>
(Write-Read) For each channel to be calibrated, sets and returns the ports to be calibrated. Specify port numbers ONLY for standard channels. Application channels are not necessary because they have designated input/output/LO ports. |
|
Parameters |
|
<ch> |
Channel number to be calibrated. |
<value> |
Ports to be calibrated for the specified channel. Select any of the native PNA ports (1,2,3,4). |

SYSTem:CALibrate:ALL:PORT<n>:RECeiver:ATTen<value>[,src]
(Write-Read) Sets and returns the Receiver Attenuator setting for a Cal All calibration. |
|
Parameters |
|
<n> |
Receiver port number. |
<value> |
Attenuation value in dB for a Cal All calibration. Choose a valid value for the PNA model. See valid settings. |
[src] |
String. (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional. Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names. While this argument can be used to make settings for ALL ports, it is designed to access ports such as an external source, true mode balanced port, or one of the Source 2 outputs on the 2-port 2-source PNA-X model such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority. |
