CURRent:MODE

This command selects FIX, LIST, WAVE subsystems control over the power supply output current. 

SCPI Command Syntax

[SOURce]:CURRent:MODE <CRD>

GEN Command Syntax

None

Parameters

NONE | FIXed | LIST | WAVE

*RST Value

NONE

Examples

CURR:MODE LIST CURR:MODE FIX

Query Syntax

[SOURce]:CURRent:MODE?

Returned Parameters

NONE | FIX | LIST | WAVE

CURRent:TRIGger

Programs the pending triggered current level of the power supply. The pending triggered current 
level is a stored value that is transferred to the output terminals when a trigger occurs.  

SCPI Command Syntax

[SOURce]:CURRent[:LEVel]:TRIGger[:AMPLitude] <NRf+>

GEN Command Syntax

None

Default Suffix

A

Examples

CURR:TRIG 3200 MA CURR:LEV:TRIG 3.2

Query Syntax

[SOURce]:CURRent[LEVel]:TRIGger [:AMPLitude]?

Returned Parameters

<NR3> CURR:TRIG? returns the presently programmed triggered level. If no 
triggered level is programmed, the CURR level is returned. 

NOTE:

CURR:MODE LIST and WAVE are an implied ABORt command. Only the last sent command can be 
accepted as WAVE or LIST.  Previous mode reverts to NONE.

7.12.5 Measure Subsystem

This subsystem reads the  actual voltage and current. The power is a result of multiplying voltage 
and current measurements. 

MEASure:CURRent?

Reads the measured output current. Returns a 5 digit string.
