Improves the output accuracy of the generator. The calibration can be done in both Tracking Generator and CW Generator modes. Changing the output power turns enhanced calibration OFF. Use [:SENSe]:ENhanced:CALibration:COMPlete[:STATe]? to determine when calibration is complete. Calibration may take 2 to 4 minutes to complete.
Note: The Enhanced Accuracy calibration is eliminated when the calibration is turned off (:GEN:EN:CAL OFF), at Preset, at Power-on, or when the generator output level is changed. The calibrations are not saved nor recalled with Save/Recall.

Title
Calibration Completion State
Description
Queries the state of the enhanced accuracy/additional calibration. This is used with enhanced accuracy calibration and additional calibration to determine the state of the calibration. If 0 is returned, calibration is in progress, -1 indicates failure, 1 indicates completion and 2 indicates failure to start calibration because additional calibration sweep was selected before turning Enhanced Accuracy Calibration ON.
Calibration accuracy can be improved by adding one or two 3 dB pads. This command selects the number of pads added. This is done before turning ON the Enhanced Accuracy Calibration or performing an Additional Calibration Sweep.

Specifies whether the tracking generator absolute power statistic table is ON or OFF. If the value is set to ON or 1, the tracking generator absolute statistic table is turned on.If the value is set to OFF or 0, the tracking generator absolute statistic table is turned off.
The query version of the command returns a 1 if the tracking generator absolute power statistic is on and returns a 0 if the tracking generator power statistic is off.
Note that this command is ignored if the tracking generator output is off.

(Only valid for Tracking Mode and Normalize On) Specifies whether the tracking generator transmission statistic is ON or OFF. If the value is set to ON or 1, the tracking generator transmission statistic is turned on. Turning on normalization triggers the normalization sweep, during which the sweep complete bit of the operation status is zero, and :STATus:OPERation? can be used to detect the completion of the normalization sweep. If the value is set to OFF or 0, the tracking generator normalization is turned off.
The query version of the command returns a 1 if the tracking generator normalization is on and returns a 0 if the tracking generator normalization is off.
Note that this command is ignored if the tracking generator output is off.

To turn off the tracking generator normalized state:
(Only valid for Tracking Mode and Normalize On) Specifies whether the tracking generator transmission statistic is ON or OFF. If the value is set to ON or 1, the tracking generator transmission statistic is turned on. If the value is set to OFF or 0, the tracking generator transmission statistic is turned off.
The query version of the command returns a 1 if the tracking generator transmission statistic is on and returns a 0 if the tracking generator is off.
Note that this command is ignored if the tracking generator normalization is off.
