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
INSTrument[:SELect] {OUTPut1 | OUTPut2 | OUT1 | OUT2}
Select the output to be programmed one of the two outputs by the output
identifier. The outputs of the power supply are considered as two logical
instruments. The
INSTrument
command provides a mechanism to identify
and select an output. When one output is selected, the other output is
unavailable for programming until selected. The commands which are affected
by the
INSTrument
command are output setting command (
SOURce
),
measurement command (
MEASure
), and calibration command
(
CALibration
).
INSTrument[:SELect]?
Return the currently selected output by the
INSTrument{:SELect]
or
INSTrument:NSELect
command. The returned value is ‘‘OUTP1’’ or
‘‘OUTP2’’.
