[SENSe:]CURRent:{AC|DC}:TERMinals {3|10}
[SENSe:]CURRent:{AC|DC}:TERMinals?
Configures the AC or DC current measurement to measure the source on the 3 A or 10 A terminals. Note
that the 10 A terminal is not available on the 34460A.
Parameter
Typical Return
{3|10}. Default: 3.
+3 or +10
Configure AC current measurements to use the 10 A terminal. Make and read two measurements:
CONF:CURR:AC
CURR:AC:TERM 10
SAMP:COUN 2
READ?
Typical Response: +7.8100,7.8200
l
Selecting the 10 A terminal with
[SENSe:]CURRent:{AC|DC}:TERMinals
forces the specified type of cur-
rent measurements to use the 10 A range, but it does not affect the values of
or
[SENSe:]CURRent:{AC|DC}:RANGe:AUTO
.
l
Changing the value of this parameter always changes the measurement range, which results in a
change of measurement resolution. The number of PLCs (NPLC) stays fixed, and this results in a
change of resolution in terms of the units of the measurement. For example, if you have a meas-
urement with 1 µA resolution on the 1 A range, changing to the 10 A terminals results in a resolution
of 10 µA.
l
This parameter is set to its default value after a Factory Reset (
) or Instrument Preset
(
).
