[SOUR]:COND[:LEVE][:IMM][:AMPL](?)
<DNPD>
Purpose
This command selects Conductance hardware.
<DNPD>
The 'decimal numeric program data' is a number which sets the required output conductance, expressed in units of Siemens. It will
automatically choose the 'best' hardware range for the defined conductance output.
For details of local operation and parameter limitations, refer to Volume 1, Section 4, Sub-Section 4.8 (Conductance).
Response to Query Version
The instrument will return the present conductance output value. The returned number will be in standard scientific format (for
example: 200
µ
S would be returned as
2.0E-4
)
6.6.4.10
[SOUR]:COND:UUT_I(?)
<CPD>{LOW|HIGH|SUPer}
Purpose
In the synthesized conductance technology used in the 9100, the current sourced from the UUT must fall within certain spans of
values for each commanded conductance value. For UUTs producing source currents which are larger than the values in the 'Low'
(default) span, the greater current can be accommodated by selecting 'HIGH' or 'SUPER'.
The
COND:UUT_I {LOW|HIGH|SUPer}
command is used to switch between the three current configurations. There is no
default setting; refer to Volume 1 of this User's Handbook, Section 4, Sub-section 4.8, paras 4.8.5.7 for a description of UUT_I
current tracking during Conductance span changes.
<CPD>
The 'character program data' performs the required action. Refer to Volume 1, Section 4, paras 4.8.5.7, for a description of the current
limits and output voltage limitation.
•
LOW
will select the UUT source current 'Low' limits.
•
HIGH
will select the UUT source current 'High' limits.
•
SUPer
will select the UUT source current 'Super' limits.
Response to Query Version
The 9100 will return either
LOW
,
HIGH
or
SUP
, dependent on the active limits selection.
