To query trace 1 S-data:

Replace ’#’ with the required trace number. Check User Guide for the number of supported traces in each mode. FDATa: Formatted (or Final) data. The returned data are based on the Measurement Mode that is associated with the trace. For measurement types that use only one number per point (such as Return Loss, VSWR, Cable Loss, Transmission, Phase), the command returns one number per data point. For graph types that use two numbers per point (such as Smith Chart), the command returns two numbers per data point. SDATa: Complex measurement data. The returned numbers, which are independent of the Measurement Mode that is associated with the trace, are complex measurement data pairs (Real and Imaginary) for each point of the trace. A 517 point trace therefore has a total of 1034 values that get transferred. FMEM: Formatted (or Final) Memory data. Similar to FDATa, but for memory data. SMEM: Complex memory data. Similar to SDATa, but for memory data. Note that in order to get valid data when querying for memory data, you must first store a trace into memory. The format of the block data that is returned can be specified by the command :FORMat[:READings][:DATA]. The response begins with an ASCII header that specifies the number of data bytes. It appears in the format #AX, where A is the number of digits in X, and X is the number of bytes that follow the header. Each data point is separated by a comma delimiter.

Perform a Thru Update to an existing calibration that includes a Thru step. This command must follow by :CORRection:COLLect:SAVe to complete the update

To update the Thru measurement in a cal:

Query returns 1 if Thru Update is completed. Otherwise, query returns 0.

To query Thru Update status:

Command performs a calibration step with the given two parameters. For cal step OPEN|SHORT|SHORT1|SHORT2|LOAD|ZERo, use port numbers 1 and 2. For cal step THRu|ISOLation, use 1 for forward path, 2 for reverse path, and 3 for both forward and reverse paths.

Query returns the last measurement performed, which includes cal step and port number. If no cal step was done, query returns "NONE, 0".
