Analog Reference source is selected as Resistance and programming mode of output
current as external by sending following SCPI commands:

The resistance-programming default coefficient for output current is Channel current rating
(100% rated output
current) / 5kΩ, with input at Pin 5 (IPRG_ISOUR) and return to Pin 3
(RTN_PRG). Refer to Figure 8-3. An internal current source,
factory-set at 1 mA, from Pin
5 is utilized to drive the resistance. This produces a transfer function for output current, as
follows:
Iout = R * (
(100% rated output current) / 5kΩ), with R in kohms.
Full Scale current programming resistance can be modified from default 5kOhms to any
other value (from 5k
Ω to 10kΩ).
For example, To set 10k
Ω as full scale for Current programming send below command.

Then the transfer function for output current, as follows:
Iout = R * (
(100% rated output current) / FSC kΩ), with R in kohms.
If multiple switches or relays are used to select resistors to program different current
levels, make-before-break contacts are recommended.
