2.0 Enable/Disable BENCH iLS Remote Sense
You can enable or disable the BENCH iLS Remote Sense capability and set the lead
resistance with the following SCPI commands.
RSENSE
Enable/disable Remote Sense
RSENSE?
Return Remote Sense state
RSENSE:RESistance
Set the remote sense resistance
RSENSE:RESistance?
Return the remote sense resistance
2.1 Calculate the Lead Resistance
In addition, you 181,”Resistance too large” can command BENCH iLS to calculate the lead
resistance by executing the following sequence:
1) Short leads which connect to the load at the load.
2) Execute the command to enable Remote Sense
RSENse ON
3) Execute the command to calculate lead resistance.
RSENse:RESistance:CALCulate <current> Initiates calculation
The <current> value is the current, in amperes, at which the lead resistance is to
be calculated and will normally be toward the high end of your application.
If the specified current is greater than the maximum allowed for the BENCH iLS
model you are using, you will trigger the error: -222,”Data out of range”.
4) Execute the command to query the remote sense calculation state.
RSENse:RESistance:CALCulate?
If the calculation is still taking place, BENCH iLS will report: CALCULATING
When the calculation is complete, BENCH iLS will report: COMPLETE
If the calculated resistance is too large for practical application of remote sensing,
BENCH iLS will return the error: 181,”Resistance too large”.
