[SOURce]:POWer[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude](?)<dnpd>
This command is used to select and query the value of the power to be output.
• If the instrument is not already in a power function (DC or AC) then DC power will be selected as default.
• The units of power amplitude will be determined by the
:POWer:UNITs
command.
• The Voltage will be adjusted to generate this power.
6.7.3.2
[SOURce]:POWerUNITs(?)<cpd>{WATTs|VA|VAR}
This command selects the units that power is displayed in. For the case of AC, the WATTs and VAR mode will take into
account the Phase Angle. In the case of VA, then power is simply RMS Volts times RMS Amps.
• If DC power is selected, then a settings conflict error will be generated.
6.7.3.3
[SOURce]:POWer:PANGle(?) <dnpd>
This command sets the angular difference between the main and auxiliary waveforms. It is set as a phase angle in degrees.
• If the instrument is not in AC power, then a settings conflict error will be generated.
• The range of the
PANGle <dnpd>
is +180.0 to -180.0. Values outside this will generate Data out of range error.
6.7.3.4
[SOURce]:POWer:MAIN:SHAPe(?)
<cpd>{DC|SINusoid|IMPulse|TRIangle|TRAPezoid|SYMSquare}
6.7.3.5
[SOURce]:POWer:AUXiliary:SHAPe(?)
<cpd>{DC|SINusoid|IMPulse|TRIangle|TRAPezoid|SYMSquare}
These two commands select the waveshape of the main and auxiliary signals.
• Selection of 'DC' in either the main or auxiliary will change function to DC Power.
Selecting any of the other waveshapes will select AC power and default the other channel waveshape to SIN.
• If a waveform is selected for whom the present amplitude is to large, then a settings conflict will be reported.
