Auto Align

Configures the method for which the automatic background alignment is run.

Automatic background alignments are run periodically between measurement acquisitions. The
instrument’s software determines when alignments are to be performed to maintain warranted
operation. The recommended setting for Auto Align is Normal.

An Auto Align execution cannot be aborted with the Cancel (ESC) key. To interrupt an Auto Align
execution, select Auto Align Off.

Notes

While Auto Align is executing, bit 0 of Status Operation register is set.

Couplings

Auto Align is set to Off if Restore Align Data is invoked.

Preset

This is unaffected by Preset but is set to ON upon a “Restore System Defaults->Align”.

State Saved

No

Status Bits/OPC
dependencies

When Auto Align is executing, bit 0 in the Status Operational register is set.

Compatibility SCPI

:CALibration:AUTO ALERt

Parameter ALERt is for backward compatibility only and is mapped to PARTial

Notes

1. ESA SCPI for Auto Align is :CALibration:AUTO . The command for X-Series is an
enumeration. Thus the parameters of “0” and “1” are not possible in X-Series.

2. Similarly, the ESA SCPI for :CALibration:AUTO? returned the Boolean value 1 or 0, in X-Series it
is an Enumeration (string). Thus, queries by customer applications into numeric variables will
result in an error

3. In PSA Auto Align OFF was not completely off, it is equivalent to PARTial in X-Series. In X-
Series, OFF will be fully OFF. This means users of PSA SCPI who choose OFF may see degraded
performance and should migrate their software to use PARTial.
