CURRent Subsystem
Current commands program the output current of the instrument.
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <
value
>|MIN|MAX
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX]
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude] <
value
>|MIN|MAX
[SOURce:]CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX]
Sets the immediate or triggered current level when the output is operating in current priority mode.
The triggered level is a stored value that is transferred to the output when an output Step is
triggered. Units are in amperes. The maximum value depends on the current rating of the unit.
Parameter
Typical Return
0 to 102% of rating, *RST 0
<current level>
Sets the positive current to 2 A: CURR 2
[SOURce:]CURRent:BWIDth:RANGe 0 | 1
[SOURce:]CURRent:BWIDth[:RANGe]?
This command only applies to models N69143A, N69145A, and N69146A.
Sets the current compensation. This lets you optimize output response time with inductive loads.
These compensation modes only apply when the unit is operating in constant current (CC), both in
current priority and in voltage priority (when in current limit).
0 - best suited for stability with a wide range of output inductances. Refer to
for specific inductive load limits.
1 - provides maximum up-programming speed and the fastest transient response time when the
output inductance is restricted to small values.
Parameter
Typical Return
0 | 1, *RST 0
0 or 1
Sets the current bandwidth to 1: CURR:BWID 1
[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit[:POSitive][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] <
value
>|MIN|MAX
[SOURce:]CURRent:LIMit[:POSitive][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX]
Sets the current limit when in voltage priority mode. Units are in amperes. The maximum value
depends on the current rating of the unit.
Parameter
Typical Return
0 to 102% of rating, *RST 1.02% of rating
<current limit>
Sets the current limit to 2 A: CURR:LIM 2
