:VSControl <name>
This command is used to select the ohms V-source mode.
Usage
[:SENSe[1]]:RESistance:VSControl <name>
:VSControl?
<name>
MANual:
Manual V-source Ohms
AUTO:
V-source Ohms
Details
This command is used to select Manual V-source ohms or Auto V-source ohms. With
MANual
selected, you can set the V-source level for ohms measurements.
With
AUTO

:MSELect <name>
This command is used to select the ohms measurement type.
Usage
[:SENSe[1]]:RESistance:MSELect <name>
:MSELect?
<name>
NORMal:
Normal resistance measurements
RESistivity:
Resistivity measurements
Details
This command is used to select the ohms measurement type.
NORMal
is used to make normal resistance
measurements, and
RESistivity
is used for resistivity (surface and volume) measurements (see
Resistivity

:RESistivity commands
The following commands are used for resistivity measurements. If using the Model 8009 Resistivity
Test Fixture, the measurement type (surface or volume) is automatically sensed by the Model 6517B
through the safety interlock cable. Also, when using the Model 8009, you do not need to use the
:USER
commands (
:RSELect
,
:KSURface
, and
:KVOLume
).
