Usage
:SOURce[1]:<function>:HIGH:CAPacitance <state>
:SOURce[1]:<function>:HIGH:CAPacitance?
<function>
The source function to which this setting applies:
Current:
CURRent
Voltage:
VOLTage
<state>
Turn high capacitance off:
OFF
or
0
Turn high capacitance on:
ON
or
1
Details
When the instrument is measuring low current and is driving a capacitive load, you may see
overshoot, ringing, and instability. You can enable the high capacitance mode to minimize these
problems.
Example
SOUR:CURR:HIGH:CAP ON
Turn the high capacitance mode on when
sourcing current.
