Commands and Queries 
- ACTive:MODE {NORMal|CALibration|DIAGnostic}
- ACTive:MODE?

Active

Bases: SCPICmdRead

The ACTive command tree.

Usage
  • Using the .query() method will send the ACTive? query.
  • Using the .verify(value) method will send the ACTive? query and raise an AssertionError if the returned value does not match value.
Properties
  • .mode: The ACTive:MODE command.

mode property 

mode: ActiveMode

Return the ACTive:MODE command.

Description
  • This command enables and disables access to diagnostics or calibration. When the active mode is DIAGnostic or CALibration, all other non-diagnostic and non-calibration commands are ignored and no action occurs. If a test or procedure is in progress, errors are not returned; they are added to the system error queue, which can be accessed with SYSTEM:ERROR:NEXT. For example: -200, ‘[D|C] are still running;’ -300,’Device-specific error; Diagnostics tests still in progress - act:mode diag’ -300,’Device-specific error; Calibration procedures still in progress - act:mode cal’ To avoid this error, use the command DIAGNOSTIC:STOP:STATE or CALIBRATION:STOP:STATE to test for this condition. This command blocks when changing any state. Changing the state to NORMal causes a hardware initialization process and any related system settings are restored. If any diagnostic tests are in progress, then the request to change the active mode fails and the mode will not change. When changing the active mode, it’s recommended to follow the action with an operation complete command (*OPC) to ensure the command has finished before other commands are processed.
Usage
  • Using the .query() method will send the ACTive:MODE? query.
  • Using the .verify(value) method will send the ACTive:MODE? query and raise an AssertionError if the returned value does not match value.
  • Using the .write(value) method will send the ACTive:MODE value command.
SCPI Syntax 
- ACTive:MODE {NORMal|CALibration|DIAGnostic}
- ACTive:MODE?
Info
  • NORMal disables any active state for either calibration or diagnostics. When entering the active state of normal, the hardware is set to a default state and the previous system state is restored and waveform playout is set to off.
  • CALibration enables the active state for the calibration. Entering the active state of calibration turns waveform playout off.
  • DIAGnostic enables the active state for the diagnostics. Entering the active state of diagnostics turns waveform playout off.
  • *RST sets this to NORM.

ActiveMode

Bases: SCPICmdWrite, SCPICmdRead

The ACTive:MODE command.
