Pulse Current Measurements
Programming examples
Pulse current measurements
The following command sequence will return the average of 10 peak pulse current measurements:
SENS:RANG 5
‘ Select 5A range.
VOLT 15
‘ Set output voltage to 15V.
CURR 0.75
‘ Set current limit to 750mA.
OUTP ON
‘ Turn output on.
SENS:PCUR:AVER 10
‘ Set average count to 10.
SENS:PCUR:TIME:AUTO
‘ Set integration times automatically.
SENS:PCUR:SYNC:TLEV 0.1
‘ Set trigger level to 100mA.
SENS:PCUR:SYNC:DEL 50e-3
‘ Set trigger delay to 50msec.
SENS:FUNC “PCUR”
‘ Select pulse current function.
SENS:PCUR:SYNC ON
‘ Enable trigger synchronization.
SENS:PCUR:MODE HIGH
‘ Configure to measure peak pulse.
READ?
‘ Trigger 10 measurement conversions and
‘ return the average of those 10 conversions.
Pulse current digitization
The following command sequence returns 3600 digitized readings. It will take approximately
one second to perform the measurement process.
SENS:RANG 5
‘ Select 5A range.
VOLT 15
‘ Set output voltage to 15V.
CURR 0.75
‘ Set current limit to 750mA.
OUTP ON
‘ Turn output on.
SENS:PCUR:SYNC OFF
‘ Disable trigger synchronization.
SENS:PCUR:AVER 3600
‘ Set average count to 3600.
SENS:PCUR:SYNC:TLEV 0.1
‘ Set trigger level to 100mA.
SENS:PCUR:SYNC:DEL 50e-3
‘ Set trigger delay to 50msec.
SENS:FUNC “PCUR”
‘ Select pulse current function.
READ:ARR
?
‘ Trigger and return 3600 readings.
