FREQ_TYPE

When in frequency mode, sets the calibrator to output a continuous wave (Frequency Out), or
a pulse train. To set the calibrator to continuous wave enter CONT after the command. To set
the calibrator to pulse enter PULSE after the command. For example:

FREQ_TYPE CONT will set the calibrator to FREQ OUT.

Note: This command does not put the calibrator in frequency mode. Use the OUT command
to put the calibrator in frequency mode.

FREQ_TYPE?

Tells whether calibrator is sourcing a pulse or a continuous wave. The command will return
CONT if the calibrator is in FREQ OUT mode, and PULSE if the calibrator is in PULSE mode.

FREQ_UNIT

Sets the unit for frequency. There are three ranges of frequencies for frequency and pulse
modes, CPM (cycles per minute), Hz, and kHz. Use this command to select the right range.
For example:

FREQ_UNIT HZ sets the frequency to Hz range

FREQ_UNIT?

Returns the frequency unit currently being used by the frequency and pulse modes.

FUNC?

Returns the current mode of the upper and lower displays. For example if the calibrator is set
to volts on the upper display, and pressure on the lower display, FUNC? Would return:

DCV, PRESSURE

LOCAL

Restores the calibrator to local operation if it was in remote mode. Also clears LOCKOUT if the
unit was in lockout mode.

LOWER_MEAS

Sets the lower display to measure mode. The command is followed by any of the parameters
except for pulse and mA sim, which are source only. Enter DCI for mA, DCV for volts, TC for
thermocouple, RTD for RTD, FREQUENCY for frequency, and PRESSURE for pressure. For
example:

LOWER_MEAS DCV sets the lower display mode to VOLTS IN

L_PRES_UNIT

Sets the unit for measuring pressure on the lower display. Add the unit after the command.
The available pressure units and their syntax are shown in the Table 7. (Parameter Units).
For example:
