SENSe1 subsystem
The SENSe1 subsystem is used to configure and control the measurement functions of the
Model 2510. Measurement functions include current, temperature, and resistance.
The commands for this subsystem are summarized in Table 10-4 .
Current function
:PROTection[:LEVel] <n>
[:SENSe[1]]:CURRent[:DC]:PROTection[:LEVel] <n> Program current protection limit
Parameters
<n> = 1.0 to +5.25A Set current protection limit
MINimum 1.0
MAXimum +5.25
DEFault 2.0
Query
:PROTection[:LEVel]? Query current protection limit
Description
This command programs the current protection limit. You can determine
whether or not the limit has been exceeded by using the :TRIPped?
query (below).
:TRIPped? <n>
[:SENSe[1]]:CURRent[:DC]:PROTection:TRIPped? Query if current limit exceeded
Description
This command queries whether or not the current protection limit has
been exceeded. A returned value of 1 = current limit exceeded; 0 = cur-
rent limit not exceeded.
NOTE The SOURce1 subsystem commands determine which function is controlled by
the PID loop. All SENSe1 parameters are monitored continuously.
