3.19 :SENSe1 subsystem
The :SENSe1 subsystem is used to configure and control the measurement functions of the
Model 6517A. The commands for this subsystem are summarized in Table 3-10.
3.19.1
[:SENSe[1]] subsystem
This Sense 1 Subsystem is used to configure and control the measurement functions of the Mod-
el 6517A (volts, amps, ohms and coulombs). Note that a function does not have to be selected
in order to program its various configurations. When the function is later selected, it assumes
the programmed states.
3.19.2
:FUNCtion <name>
[:SENSe[1]]:FUNCtion <name>
Select measurement function.
Parameters
<name> = 'VOLTage[:DC]'
Select Volts
'CURRent[:DC]'
Select Amps
'RESistance'
Select Ohms
'CHARge'
Select Coulombs
Query
:FUNCtion?
Query currently programmed function.
Description
The :FUNCtion command is used to select the measurement function of the instrument. Note
that parameter names are enclosed in single quotes ('). However, double quotes (") can instead
be used. For example:
:func 'volt' = :func "volt"
Each measurement function "remembers" its own unique setup configuration, such as range,
speed, resolution, filter and rel. This eliminates the need to re-program setup conditions every
time you switch from one function to another.
3.19.3
:DATA commands
The data commands are primarily used to return a reading to the computer. Humidity, external
temperature, and change from calibration temperature readings can also be included in the data
string if they are included as data elements. See the :FORMat Subsystem to select data elements.
[:LATest]?
[:SENSe[1]]:DATA[:LATest]?
Return latest reading.
Description
This query command is used to read the latest instrument reading. This command returns the
"raw" reading or a reading that is the result of the Reference (REL from the front panel) opera-
tion. For example, if a reference value of 1.0 is established, the reading returned by this com-
mand is the "raw" reading minus 1.0. Calculated (MATH) readings cannot be read with this
command (see the CALCulate subsystem to read math calculations).
The reading is returned in exponent form. For example, a 10V DC reading will be displayed on
the CRT as follows:
+1.01
Notice that the measurement function is not included in the response message. Thus, you may
want to perform a function query (see previous command) after a reading query.
