Model 6482 Dual-Channel Picoammeter / Voltage Source Reference Manual
Section 12: Remote Operations
Angle brackets < >
: Angle brackets (< >) are used to denote a parameter type. Do not include the
brackets in the program message. For example:
:OUTPut2 <b>
The <b> indicates a Boolean-type parameter is
required. Therefore, to enable the selected
source, you must send the command with the ON
or 1 parameter as follows:
:OUTPut2 ON
:OUTPut2 1
Parameter types:
The following are some of the more common parameter types:
<b>
Boolean:
Used to enable or disable an instrument operation. 0 or OFF disables the
operation, and 1 or ON enables the operation. Example:
:CALCulate1:STATe ON
Enable Calc 1 math
<name>
Name parameter:
Select a parameter name from a listed group.
Example:
<name> = NEVer
= NEXT
:TRACe:FEED:CONTrol NEXT
<NRf>
Numeric representation format:
This parameter is a number that can be
expressed as an integer (for example, 8), a real number (for example, 23.6), or an
exponent (2.3E6). Example:
:SYSTem:KEY 11
Remotely presses the EXIT key
<n>
Numeric value:
A numeric value parameter can consist of an NRf number or one
of the following name parameters: DEFault, MINimum, MAXimum. When the
DEFault parameter is used, the instrument is programmed to the *RST default
value. When the MINimum parameter is used, the instrument is programmed to the
lowest allowable value. When the MAXimum parameter is used, the instrument is
programmed to the largest allowable value. Examples:
:ARM:TIMer 0.1
Sets timer to 100 ms
:ARM:TIMer DEFault
Sets timer to 0.1 s
:ARM:TIMer MINimum
Sets timer to 1 ms
:ARM:TIMer MAXimum
Sets timer to 99999.99 s
<numlist>
Numlist:
Specify one or more numbers for a list. Example:
:STATus:QUEue:ENABle (-110:-222)
Enable errors -110 through -222
