Command examples
Command
Description
VSET 1.0E3
Sets the voltage to 1000 V.
VSET?
Queries the voltage setting.
*IDN?
Queries the device identification.
VSET 100.0;VSET?
Sets the voltage to 100 V and queries the voltage.
Remote commands
The following Model 2290-10 commands are divided by the type of command: Output control, Setting
control, Interface control, and Status reporting. Note that multiple parameters are separated by
commas. Commands with queries are followed by a question mark in parentheses (?). Commands
that have only a query include a “?”. Commands that cannot be queried have no question mark.
Brackets [ ] indicate the parameter is optional. An asterisk (*) preceding the command indicates IEEE-
488.2 common commands.
Parentheses shown in command descriptions indicate only that a query form is available. Do not
include parentheses in commands.
Output control commands
HVOF
The
HVOF
command turns off the high voltage output.
HVON
The
HVON
command turns on the high voltage provided that the front panel HIGH VOLTAGE switch
is not in the OFF position. If the switch is in the OFF position, the high voltage is left off, and an
execution error is reported. This command also automatically clears any voltage or current trips.
IOUT?
The
IOUT?
query returns the value of the actual output current. This value is the same as that shown
on the front panel µA display.
As with the front panel display, this value takes about one second to stabilize after a change in
current.
