[SOURce]:POWer:POLarity:(?)
<cpd>{DC|SIGNed|ABSolute}
This command sets the polarity mode of the DC or AC power functions. If theABSolute parameter is received, then power will not
have a sign attached. The SIGNed parameter will allow positive and negative powers. (Note this may result in a change of phase
angle in AC).
• If the instrument is not in DC nor AC power then a settings conflict error will be generated.
6.7.3.7
[SOURce]:POWer:MAIN:VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude](?)<dnpd>
This sets the voltage amplitude of the selected channel.
• All waveshapes are specified in RMS.
• Only DC may have a negative
<dnpd>.
6.7.3.8
[SOURce]:POWerAUXiliary:CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude](?) <dnpd>
This sets the current amplitude of the auxiliary channel (Note the main channel is voltage only).
• All waveshapes are specified in RMS.
• Only DC may have a negative
<dnpd>.
• This command is still used for the auxiliary amplitude even when
POWer:AUXiliary:MODE VOLTage
is selected.
6.7.3.9
[SOURce]:POWer:AUXiliary:MODE(?)<cpd>{VOLTage|CURRent}
This command determines the type of signal output on the auxiliary channel.
When in the
VOLTage
mode, the display continues to show current (I = xxx.xx) but the output on the auxiliary channel is
calculated using the factor supplied by
POWer:SCALe:
VOUTaux=Iaux*Scale
• The default mode on entry to DC or AC will be
CURRent
.
6.7.3.10
[SOURce]:POWer:AUXiliary:SCALe(?)<dnpd>
This command determines the scale factor applied to the auxiliary channel, when in 'auxiliary voltage' mode, to calculate the
effective voltage on the auxiliary channel:
VOUTaux=Iaux*Scale
• This is equivalent to the scale value set in the manual configuration screen.
