Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI)
97
Initiate Subsystem
This subsystem enables the trigger system. When a trigger is enabled, the triggering action will occur upon receipt of a
<GET>, *TRG, or TRIGger command. If a trigger circuit is not enabled, all trigger commands are ignored. The actions of
the two initiate commands are:
♦
If INIT:CONT is OFF, then INIT[:IMM] arms the trigger system for a single trigger.
♦
If INIT:CONT is ON, then the trigger system is continuously armed and INIT[:IMM] is redundant.
Command Syntax INITiate[:IMMediate]
INITiate:CONTinuous <bool>
Parameters For INIT[:IMM] (None)
For INIT:CONT 0 or OFF 1 or ON
*RST Value OFF
Examples INIT INITIATE: IMMEDIATE
INIT:CONT 1 INITIATE:CONTINUOUS 1
Query Syntax For INIT[:IMM] (None)
For INIT:CONT INIT:CONT?
Returned Parameters <NR1> 0 or 1
Measure Subsystem
This query subsystem returns the voltage and current measured at the power supply’s sense
Query Syntax MEAS
ure:CURRent[:DC?] MEASure:VOLTage[:DC?] Default
Suffix
A for MEAS:CURR V for MEAS:VOLT
Examples MEAS: CURR? MEAS: VOLT?
MEASURE: VOLTAGE: DC? MV
Returned Parameters <NR3>
Output Subsystem
This subsystem controls the power supply’s voltage and current outputs and the optional Agilent 59510A/59511A Relay
Accessory.
OUTP[:STAT]
Enables or disables the power supply’s output. The exact state of a disabled output is model dependent, but it generally is in
a condition of minimum output voltage and source current. If the power supply is configured with the Agilent
59510A/59511A Relay Accessory, the command will open the relay contacts when the output is disabled and close them
when it is enabled. Use of the second (NORelay) parameter prevents the command from having any effect on the relay; it
remains in its existing state when OUTPut is executed. The query form returns the output state, excluding that of the relay
(see OUTP:REL?).
Command Syntax OUTP ut[:STATe] <NRf>[,NORelay]
Parameters {O/OFF}[,NORelay] {I/ON}[,NORelay]
*RST Value 0
Examples OUTP 1 OUTPUT: STATE ON, NORELAY
Query Syntax OUTP ut[:STATe]?
Returned Parameters <NRl>
0 or 1
