Description
:RANGe? [MIN|MAX|DEF]
Returns the selected range, or if specified, the
minimum, maximum or default range
:RESolution <
nrf
>|MIN|MAX|DEF
Set maximum expected value or min, max or default
resolution; for example, range is 1A, Resolution
<nrf>
.
= 0.0001 (100 µA), the measurement is returned with
a resolution of +1.000E-4
:RESolution? [MIN|MAX|DEF]
Returns the selected resolution, or if specified, the
minimum, maximum or default range
:SECondary OFF|VOLTage|PUNCertainty
Sets the secondary reading type
OFF = Secondary reading is not shown
PUNCertainty = additional Power Uncertainty
VOLTage = the shunt output voltage
:SHUNt? [list#]
returns {Asset#, Manufacturer, Model, Serial#,
Resistance, Max Current, Power Coefficient, Power
Ref Level} of the selected Shunt)
Note1: The first four items are quoted strings; the
remaining item are NR3 format values.
Note2: If the optional <list#> is supplied that record is
returned, otherwise the active shunt record is
returned.
Note3: Index ‘0’ is the ‘immediate’ shunt slot and is
always available.
:SHUNt:ADD <list>
Add a new shunt as a comma-separated string of
attributes {Asset#, Manufacturer, Model, Serial#,
Resistance, Max Current, Power Ref Level, Power
Coefficient}
See notes to SHUNt?
:SHUNt:COUNt?
Note: will always return at least 1 as the ‘Basic’ shunt
(slot ‘0’) will be included.
:SHUNt:LIST?
returns a comma-separated enumerated list of shunts
as {List#, Asset#, Manufacturer, Model, Serial#,
Resistance, Max Current, Power Ref Level, Power
Coefficient }
Note1: The first four items are quoted strings; the
remaining item are NR3 format values.
Note2: If the optional <list#> is supplied that record is
returned, otherwise the active shunt record is
returned.
Note3: Index ‘0’ is the ‘Basic' shunt slot and is always
