*CAL?<br />
Calibration Query<br />
Syntax: *CAL?<br />
Parameters: None<br />
Function:<br />
This routine performs an auto calibration sequence on both channels. The<br />
calibration sequence measures the amplifier offsets at all gain settings. These<br />
measurements are stored and subtracted from subsequent measurements.<br />
Acquisition is suspended during auto calibration and no other remote commands<br />
will be processed until the auto calibration sequence is complete.<br />
Returns: <br />
represents the integer 0. This return value is generated when<br />
autocalibration is complete.<br />

*CLS<br />
Clear Status<br />
Syntax: *CLS<br />
Parameters: None<br />
Function:<br />
This command clears the Standard Event Status register, device event register,<br />
and the error queue. As a result of this command the status byte is<br />
cleared except for the message available bit (bit 4). Because this command<br />
does not clear the input and output buffers the MAV bit will not be affected.<br />
The *CLS command also cancels any outstanding *OPC and OPC? commands.<br />

Syntax: *ERR?<br />
Parameters: None<br />
