6.1. SCPI Instruction Set
Command
Description
:
VOLT
age
˽
<Voltage>[V]
Set the channel voltage set V
set
in Volt.
Example: :VOLT 1234
˽
:LIM
it
˽
<Voltage>[V]
Set the channel voltage limit V
lim
in Volt.
Example: :VOLT:LIM
˽
1500
Note: This limit should only be changed if needed, e.g. when
setting the maximum allowed voltage for an experiment.
It is stored in the processors EEPROM permanently and not
thought to be changed continuously.
˽
ON
Switch on the High Voltage with the configured ramp speed.
Example: :VOLT
˽
ON
˽
OFF
Switch off the High Voltage with the configured ramp speed.
Example: :VOLT OFF
˽
˽
EMCY
˽
OFF
Shut the High Voltage emergency off (without ramp)
The channel stays in Emergency Off (EMCY OFF)
˽
until it is cleared
with EMCY CLR.
˽
Example: :VOLT EMCY OFF
˽
˽
˽
EMCY
˽
CLR
Clear the “Shut channel High Voltage emergency off”. The channel
goes to state off. The Event Emergency Off must be cleared
separately (e.g. with *CLS)
Example: :VOLT EMCY CLR
˽
˽
:CURR
ent
<Current>[A]
Set the channel current set I
set
in Ampere.
Example: :CURR
˽
0.9
:LIM
it <Current>[A]
˽
Set the channel current limit I
lim
in Ampere.
Example: :CURR:LIM 1.5
˽
Note: This limit should only be changed if needed, e.g. when
setting the maximum allowed current for an experiment.
It is stored in the processors EEPROM permanently and not
thought to be changed continuously.
:EV
ent
˽
CLEAR
Clear the Channel Event Status register (8.3).
Example: :EVENT CLEAR
˽
:MASK
˽
<Word>
Set the Channel Event Mask register (8.4).
Example: :EVENT:MASK
˽
12345
:MEAS
ure
:VOLT
age
?
Query the measured voltage in Volt.
Example: :MEAS:VOLT? 1.23456E3V
→
:CURR
ent
?
Query the measured current in Ampere.
Example: :MEAS:CURR? 2.34567E-3A
