CURRent:STEP? [DEFault]
Return the value of the step size currently specified. The returned parameter
is a numeric value. ‘‘
DEFault
’’ gives the minimum resolution of the step size
in unit of amps.
CURRent:TRIGgered { <current> | MINimum | MAXimum}
Program the pending triggered current level. The pending triggered current
level is a stored value that is transferred to the output terminals when a trigger
occurs. A pending triggered level is not affected by subsequent
CURRent
commands.
CURRent:TRIGgered? [MINimum | MAXimum]
Query the triggered current level presently programmed. If no triggered level
is programmed, the
CURRent
level is returned.
Example The following program segments show how to use the
CURR UP
or
CURR DOWN
command to increase or decrease the output current with the
CURR
:
STEP
command.
‘‘
CURR
:
STEP 0.01
’’ Set the step size to 0.01 A
‘‘
CURR UP
’’ Increase the output current
‘‘
CURR
:
STEP 0.02
’’ Set the step size to 0.02 A
‘‘
CURR DOWN
’’
Decrease the output current
VOLTage { <voltage> | MINimum | MAXimum | UP | DOWN}
Program the immediate voltage level of the power supply. The immediate level
is the voltage value of the output terminals.
The
VOLTage
command changes the output of the power supply to the newly
programmed value regardless of the output range presently selected.
This command also increases or decreases the immediate voltage level using
the ‘‘
UP
’’ or ‘‘
DOWN
’’ parameter by a predetermined amount. The command
VOLTage:STEP
sets the amount of increase or decrease. Notice that a new
increment setting will cause an execution error -222 (Data out of range) when
the maximum or the minimum rated voltage is exceeded.
VOLTage? [MINimum | MAXimum]
Query the presently programmed voltage level of the power supply.
