Trigger Example
Program a unit with no load at the output of channel 2 to change its output voltage and
current to 5 VDC @ 1A at the same time.
//
Use SYST<n>:ERR?
after each command to verify no programming errors.
// turn on the unit.
*CLS
// clear the unit to its power-on default settings.
*RST
// reset the unit.
SOUR2:CURR:TRIG 1.0
// program channel 2 output current to 1.0 A upon trigger.
SOUR2:CURR:TRIG?
// confirm output current set to 1.0 A upon trigger.
SOUR2:VOLT:TRIG 5.0
// program channel 2 output voltage to 5.0 VDC upon trigger
SOUR2:VOLT:TRIG?
// confirm output current set to 5.0 VDC upon trigger.
MEAS2:CURR?
// measure the actual output current of channel 2 (response: 0.0).
MEAS2:VOLT?
// measure the actual output voltage of channel 2 (response: 0.0).
TRIG2:TYPE 3
// trigger the channel 2 to implement curr and volt programming.
MEAS2:CURR?
// measure the actual output current of channel 2 (response: ~ 0. 0
with no load on output).
MEAS2:VOLT?
// measure the actual output voltage channel 2 (response: ~ 5.0).
TRIG2:ABORT
// turn off channel 2 trigger mode.
10.13.4
Ramp I Example
Program a unit with the output shorted of channel 3 to ramp its output current from 5A to
25A in 30 seconds.
// Use
SYST<n>:ERR?
after each command to verify no programming errors.
// turn on with no load at the output.
*CLS
// clear the unit to its power-on default settings.
*RST
// reset the unit.
// short the output of channel 3.
SOUR3:VOLT 33.0
// program channel 3 output voltage to 33.0 VDC.
SOUR3:CURR 5.0
// program channel 3 output current to 5.0 A.
SOUR3:CURR:RAMP 25.0 30.0
// program current to ramp from the present
// value (5.0 A) to 25.0 A in 30 seconds.
// upon the trigger command.
TRIG3:RAMP
// start ramp execution of channel 3
.
TRIG3:ABORT
// turn off channel 3 trigger mode
